finding my sanity in deviance
even my ignorance is ignorant
young & dumb
i felt so numb
i just wanted you there
when i needed someone
yet you pushed me away
and even when i wanted to stay
cons outweighed the pros
hard times, no one knows
trying to grow
even through your suppression
people thought they knew
but i always kept ‘em guessing
-never stressing-
through all the bullshit, i never quit
even though you doubted me
i still gave it my best
even though you tried to hold me back
i still finished before the rest
now that i’m grown—out on my own
been that way since 16
found out early all i got is me
that’s the way it’s been
& how it’s always gonna be—-
i found me through all the adversity
never stopping despite your lack of faith in me
i found me through adversity
stronger now than i ever thought i could be
