Back and Forth
Forward and Reverse
Ok you missed the spot just then
It will be ok, Just start again
Pull up a little, stop, glance
Back up a smidge, more, take a chance
Ok stop, breathe, start again
There is no rush, you’re only meeting friends
Why do you need to make everything be so hard
Do you want someone to hold your hand through everything? A lifeguard?
Maybe if you look at this through a new perspective,
You’ll get a new directive
I always feel paralyzed
And when I don’t I feel like an imposter, always disguised
I just want to be able to breathe without this pressure in my lungs
My brain is always so scattered, always leaving crumbs
You could always ask for help
Mmmmmmmhhhhh no I think i’ll kill myself
Ok woah stop, rest, this is a minor inconvenience at best
No one’s quizzing you, this isn’t a test
Oh you, always so dramatic
At least it’s only an automatic
Pull forward, go back
No I can’t do it, I can’t relax
This isn’t the last day you’ll have to start
One day you’ll finally learn to fucking parallel park
