If I had cared to live, I would have died.
I didn’t give a
shit, and here I am.
It’s like the world makes sure I get denied
And gives no fucks
each time I give a damn.
Indifference always reads like confidence.
Auditions: Give a
shit? I lose the part.
Wanting to please looks like incompetence.
Lovers: Show them
I care? They break my heart.
Life sees I couldn’t care less, and gives more,
Like energy’s a
scale that balance rules.
When I say I want in, Life slams the door;
Yearn for the
verdict, I get judged by fools.
I’ll never lack
a break for lack of trying—
But if I care
to live, then I risk dying.
