Igpay Atinlay

Everything’s been backwards lately.

People tell me I’m good, yet I feel like I’m not.
And those I love leave after I promised I’d never let them go.

It’s like I’m living pig latin

Wanting to be understood
But forgetting the best parts of me behind while I progress

And I can’t make sense of what my mind is trying to tell me
Because I don’t know what I need

I just know
What I’m hearing and what I’m saying
Are two different things

And by the time my heart can decipher the message,
I’m more confused
Than when I began
