It’s not about me
It’s not about what I think
It’s about you
It’s about how you see yourself
It’s about how you feel
Too cautious, too ready to change lanes
If the red flag goes up and the alarm bells ring
He was just doing his job, she was just her job
Listening intently to you, soaking up your words
It shouldn’t have come as a surprise
No, it shouldn’t – there’s something wrong with you
In their professional opinion
There is a logical reason
To why your brain is
fried
messed up
their personal disaster zone
I put up a shield
to keep out the pain
to keep out the sorrow
to keep out the critics
and the judgmental assholes
I disguise it so well I don’t even realize
I still have all my carefully erected walls
Encasing me in a cocoon of my own prison
It’s not about me
It’s not about what I think
It’s about you
It’s about how you see yourself
It’s about how you feel
Fooled me once, shame on you
Fooled me twice, shame on me
It’s all the same to you
Lets not pretend you give a damn
About my thoughts and opinions
Yes, I’m a complicated mess
I have my issues I never said I didn’t
How do you help me?
You put me on doses
Give me a quick fix
To rationalize, to medicate
The underlying problem
Is still there, don’t you understand?
Robot I am not.
Can your diagnosis – I’m exhausted with this shit.
It’s not about me
It’s not about what I think
It’s about you
It’s about how you see yourself
It’s about how you feel
