I’m usually calm
Other people see that and they try to test me
I just want to chill and rest
They poke me until my energy becomes a time bomb
When I explode, they don’t understand
They cause the explosion and they can’t comprehend
I’m exhaling the same energy I am inhaling, it’s usually toxic
When I’m alone all the energy I’m inhaling is healthy
Tries to act like a friend, but is never around when I need a hand
I don’t talk about it, I be to myself
They see me alone, they try to expose me until I explode
I stay in the shadows because I’m taking care of myself
I see all your lies in the light
In darkness, my energy still glows
Don’t worry about me, I have a steady flow
They get mad when they see you have self-control
They choose to stay below
I’m not worried about them when my mind alone is a combat zone
When I’m alone, I calm my thoughts and my soul floats
