Maybe I'll Go
Navigating Self-Doubt: Struggles in Being True
Lyrics
You think you've made it everything's going so fine
You believe you've achieved success, and everything is going well.
But then appears someone who want to
However, someone emerges who aims to undermine you.
Tear you down
They want to tear you down emotionally or socially.
Want to rip you off those few nice things you've found
They seek to take away the few positive things you've found.
When and if you hit the ground.
If you face a setback, it might be significant.
Then it's falling kinda hard
The fall is challenging when it happens.
Cause all you do is being yourself
Your genuine self is all you've been, despite challenges.
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
You're doing everything possible to achieve success.
But that's not the way things are right now.
The current reality is different from your efforts.
Feeling kinda lost.
You feel a sense of being lost.
Those reasons
Various reasons contribute to the challenges you face.
Those unkind words being expressed
Unpleasant words and criticisms are expressed.
Oh they'll get to you I promise one day.
These criticisms will affect you at some point.
But maybe then it's too late for you to say
However, it might be too late for you to respond.
I knew it from the go cause you know
You may realize the truth later, far from the initial impression.
That's some miles away from the truth.
Reminding not to forget the reality.
Don't forget
Hey what do you think of me now
Asking for opinions on current status and changes.
Am I not like I once were
Questioning if the essence of the person has changed.
Still if you don't know me
Expressing uncertainty about being known.
What's the story of this pen
Pondering the significance of a writing tool (pen).
I guess you're not a stranger
Assuming familiarity, but not identifying as a friend.
And I can tell you're not a friend
Observing that the person is not perceived as a friend.
It might take a while but I guess you'll manage waiting till then.
Anticipating that waiting might be necessary, but manageable.
Then when you confront me with your thought
Expecting a confrontation with someone's thoughts or opinions.
You may think I don't notice don't get a bit hurt by what you do
Noting the potential lack of awareness or hurt caused by actions.
I ask you to please think of
Requesting consideration of the speaker's perspective.
What I've done to you.
Asking the person to reflect on the speaker's actions.
Please search inside and let me know
Encouraging introspection to identify any wrongdoing.
If I've done something wrong I guess I'll go
If a mistake is acknowledged, the speaker might distance themselves.
Far hidden
Suggesting a retreat or hiding place if needed.
Never to be found
Permanently disappearing or avoiding detection.
