i sit among the emotionally silenced
outside i look harmless, but the inside crafts violence
when i pull this hoodie out, you need to mind your own business
whatever happens in here is my own business
in the thickness of the cotton, i hide my pain and only God is my witness
i'm drowning in my own blood so i know i look suspicious
i perpetrated my own vision, so lost in the stillness
deafened by the silence and they think i have an illness
nigga, i don't wanna talk to you, i'm highly introverted
i'm fine sitting by the woods all day, penning my dark verses
i have nothing but the birds with me, flying round my burdens
except they must've turned on me, because they ignore i'm hurting
i need attention, so i subside to "worthless person"
mark it on my brain at night, and leave the clues to the assertive
