Lyrics

I love my haters and the cynics

I appreciate my critics and those who doubt me because they can't control or define me.

Cuz they don't know they don't own me

These critics don't realize that they can't influence or possess me.

Why am I my toughest critic

Questioning why I am my own harshest judge or evaluator.

I take it all so seriously

And it's been two weeks

Since I had any appetite

Not to mention sleep

Mentioning difficulty sleeping and staying awake with closed eyes, indicating inner turmoil.

Laying wide awake when I close my eyes

I've been spiraling downwards and I keep losing my power and sanity

Feeling a decline in personal strength and mental stability.

And It's been two weeks

Always choose the darkest places

Choosing challenging and difficult situations intentionally.

I know every corner every border

Familiarity with every difficult situation or challenge.

Never give my self the credit

Not giving oneself credit even when it's deserved.

When I deserve I deserve it

Recognizing the need to acknowledge one's achievements.


And it's been two weeks

Reiterating the two-week period of emotional struggle.

Since I've had any appetite

Continued loss of appetite over the mentioned period.

Not to mention sleep
