"Poet" lyrics

"Poet"

September eighth, today I feel insane
Got too many thoughts on my brain
I must spill 'em out on the page
Always sayin' I'm okay
How to know my pain?
The only way to feel better when it hurts
Is to put it down in words

I'm a poet and a soldier, go-getter and a stumbler
I'm walking barefoot in the city streets
Laying awake when everybody sleeps
Lil' Broken when you look closer
Best friend and a loner
In my feelings but I learn to be tough
Thirty-three but I'm still growing up
Always gonna be

Baby

Feel stupid when it's easy
Always gotta make it hard
I want everyone to see me
But I don't wanna be the star
Always feel like something's missing
I'm a walking contradiction
Find the answers when I write it out
To remind myself

I'm a poet and a soldier, go-getter and a stumbler
I'm walking barefoot in the city streets
Laying awake when everybody sleeps
Lil' broken when you look closer
Best friend and a loner
In my feelings but I learn to be tough
Thirty-three but I'm still growing up
Always gonna be
