Surviving Yourself

Whenever I gaze into your direction

I see the definition of natural selection

You are the kind that knows how to survive

Whatever comes your way, you know how to stay alive

But I always end up analyzing

Something you will never stop despising

But I just cannot help to evaluate

Everything that is on your plate

Claiming you don't need anyone
Meanwhile, it is yourself that you try to outrun

Always there for everybody but you

I think it is something you've gotten used to

To show yourself no empathy

And being your own worst enemy

I wish it was your own advice you would mimic

But you are your own worst critic

Never will you be self forgiving

Thinking that is the key to living

But baby, that is not a long-term solution

You need to find an inner resolution

Because being your own rival

Will eventually inhibit your survival
