BENT

You claim you made me

Cultivated seeds

Others envied me

For what they could perceive

You spread a falsity

A fake reality

Broke me behind the scenes

I been up

Been down

Been kicked

Around

Chewed up

Spit out

Swear you’re sorry now

But I don’t do that kind of thing

Build ya up until it rains

I let your light control my days

Bent myself in different ways for you

Why did I bend myself in different ways

For you?

You …

I got too comfortable

With the uncomfortable

I let you down I know

Gained too much self control

Know you preferred when we

We had no boundaries

When you could control me

Loved when you muted me

I been up

Been down

Been kicked

Around

Chewed up

Spit out

Swear you’re sorry now

But I don’t do that kind of thing

Build ya up until it rains

I let your light control my days

Bent myself in different ways for ya

Why did I bend myself in different ways

For you?

You …

Some days I can't breathe

Strangled by anxiety

Damn it gets so hard to sleep

My potential tauntin’ me

I been waiting patiently

To be my priority

Makes me wonder

What I’m doin’

Then I struggle

Goin’ under

Some days I can't breathe

Strangled by anxiety

Damn it gets so hard to sleep

My potential tauntin’ me

I been waiting patiently

To be my priority

Makes me wonder

What I'm doing

Then I struggle

Goin’ under
