Conflicting
Brianna Canty 1992 (California)
Have you ever just decided you're done?
Take a look at yourself in the mirror, “having any fun?”
Have you ever felt yourself let go?
A constant battle in my mind, will this get better with time?
Same song and same dance, I never had a chance.
Go ahead and build protective walls, they won’t stop any of them at all.
But what are you even fighting for?
These are the same people who will show you the door.
Conflicting ideologies,
why do the people I love most, hurt me?
