See better now
Since I removed the blinders
Don't act surprised
It's not a trick or a game
Just a reminder
Be chagrined and ashamed
You've been deceived
Sat up all night
Grit my teeth and chewed my skin
Lost in the weeds
Wet with regret, time to reset
Half of the time
I overcompensate
Some of the time
Overindulge
Most of the time
I don't negotiate
Don't act surprised
You've been deceived
So close
Yet so dejected
Sat up all night
Grit my teeth and chewed off my fucking skin
Lost in the weeds
Wet with regret
Time to reset
Soft yet hard fought battle with you
See better now
Not a trick or a game
Pretend you're surprised
Confused or amazed
