everyday

"Everyday is a battle between what I wanna know and what I don't wanna figure out. And everything in between these thoughts of mine that you know I can live without. And I find myself in need of a pause. I'm not sure but I think that it's because of this desire to be what others want me to be, which is nothing close to me.

"But I'll see better when the smoke clears, when the smoke clears inside my head, and I can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything I've said. All that remains is me and who I am at the end of the day, and this happens everyday."
