~Uitleg: Dit gedicht is geschreven over mijn ADD-brein, dat graag alles wilt uitleggen omdat ik vaak kritiek zo serieus neem. Dat ik het over wil uitleggen, ik zelf ben dus okay maar vond het wel een mooi onderwerp! Daarnaast ben ik lyricist dus het kan lezen als een nummer haha~

Start Another Day

I used to think that I could take critiscism well
Nowadays I’m not sure if I ever could tell
Cause when somebody says that I don’t agree with
I feel like it’s my fault, or I overexplain it

I used to think I was right all the time
That the people were to dumb to ever see me shine
But what if I’m wrong and their the ones who right
Hate to be blindsided but this keeps me up at night

Why do i feel the need to overcomplicate
Why do I feel the need to overexplain my ways
Why do I feel so criticized all the time
I should feel fine, I should feel fine

Saying too much can also complicate,
That is the lesson I’ve been learning of late
It’s not always easy to shut your mouth,
Especially when you feel like their gunning for you now

If any gives me feedback, I get the urge to swing
If any gives me tips or tricks, I’m not listening
Why am i this way, to feel the need to do it on my own
I need to do this right, or else I’ll end up alone



The pressure keeps building as the weight on my chest
I feel like I’m losing my way and I’m always stressed
I need to stop and take a breath or I’ll collapse
Wish somebody would’ve told me then, to just say yes

Their saying say less, whilst I feel I wanna explode
Their saying you should know this best if you ever wanna grow
Now I’m in this conflicted zone, cause their always telling me this
And I feel like the only one their picking apart of the pack.

But why do I feel this way
I’m always bummed out and it shows
Why do I need to smile,
If I feel like I am failing
This simple task you ask,
I cant seem to keep composure
This might be the thing that kills me...
This might be the thing..

But then I get back up and I think of it as learning
I overanalyze, but in my brain so I’m not showing
Then I take a breath, get back up again
No worries bout that now, cause tomorrow I’ll start..
Again.
