I have days where i pretend I don’t have emotions. And then there’s the days where the emotions take over. I tell myself I can balance them. But then there are some days where I can’t.
Somebody needs to worry about this
And I know it’s me
I think it’s important
I think I’m important
I’m very good at compartmentalizing my actions & emotions. I could have a totally shitty moment at home and go to work and no one would know. No one could see because I’m good at pretending.
But somebody needs to worry about this
And I know it’s me
I think it’s important
I think I’m important
Once I say what I say – I’ve said it – and I’m not taking it back. This is why I like to isolate myself, because I know my words don’t always come across the nicest. Me sitting alone in my room lets me think through my words so I know what to say. I do this because I know I can go off script. I know feelings can get hurt – and I don’t want them to mine.
So somebody needs to worry about this
And I know it’s me
I think it’s important
I think I’m important
I’ve been putting other people’s wants and needs before mine, and I’ve been doing this my whole life. The funny thing is, nobody knows. They don’t know because I don’t let them see who I am completely. My honest me. And I’ve come to the place where physically and mentally I can’t do that anymore.
I need to start putting myself first
Because I know I’m important
Artist Statement
This Vibe is about me being honest with myself – because I’m not always the best in portraying how I’m feeling and it’s come to the point in my life where I need to own up to that.
I know feelings can get hurt
And I don’t want them to be mine
I need to start putting myself first
Because I know I’m important
Putting these words down on paper allowed me to actually understand what I’ve been doing my whole life, what I need to change, and how to get better at it.
