my walls are telling me.

my walls are telling me

to think again.

to look away from them, & look at my eyes instead.

i meant what lies ahead

i meant the lines head

yeah.

they're telling me.... that i don't have to be what they had to be, it's only coincidence i'm 17.

& being "inspired" is lazy.

i've talked to my walls & they're telling me that we're all the same.

besides the fact they're all on paper

excuse the fame

excuse the shame

of them watching me fall away & hide my face & not to play, wasting every waking day-listening but never make & fall away & hide my face & not to play wasting every waking day.

so finally one of them said

                  following until the death will leave you dead (& leave you there)

so talk to yourself...until you're mad.

 (& then progress & go somewhere)

this is just something i wrote earlier this year. sometimes i feel like we admire our favorite musicians, or whatever it is you love to do so much that we forget about our own potential and talents, or we feel like we're not good enough. sometimes we compare ourselves to others so much that later on we have nothing left to do but make excuses fo what we didn't accomplish.

this was just a reflection i've had. i appreciate having music in my life  and it's nothing agianst anyone. i just want you all to realize that you do have potential...and i don't know, just don't lose yourself. becaese i feel like i have and i'm still trying to get myself back together. slowly but surely.

HOPE SOMEONE ACTUALLY READ THIS & UNDERSTANDS. THESE ARE JUST THOUGHTS.
