-Burnt Out-

Late again, missed the damn train

Coffee spilled on my shirt, feelin’ the pain

Boss breathin’ down my neck, numbers in my face

Copy that email? yeah, he’ll erase my grace

Jenny smiles sweet, but she talks behind

Backstab queen, every rumor aligned

That guy in accounting thinks he’s all charm

Slides in my DMs like it’s no harm

I bite my tongue, sip my chai

Pretend I don’t hear, don’t wanna reply

Elevator small talk, everyone fake

Smile so bright, but inside I ache

Lunch alone, friends too busy

Fake laughs, fake love, vibe is dizzy

City lights blur, ridin’ the train

No texts, no calls, just my own brain

Every night I swear I’ll let it slide

Every morning hits me, can’t hide

I’m not here to please nobody

I walk my path, I own my story

This peace I keep, it’s mine to hold

No one’s hand to shake, no lies to fold

Coffee breaks, gossip, it’s all the same

Whispers and stares, playin’ the office game

He asks for help, then forgets my name

And she smiles wide, but spreads the flame

Emails piling up, inbox on fire

Deadlines screaming, pressure gets higher

Phone buzz again, “you free tonight?”

I roll my eyes, gotta keep my fight

I laugh, I joke, fake the grin

Inside I’m tired, can’t let him in

Boss drops praise, then finds a flaw

Women at work can cut like a saw

I dream of quitting, packin’ my bag

Living for myself, not office drag

Evening comes, lights in the train

Silence is gold, ease my brain

I tell myself, “You’ll be okay”

Tomorrow’s yours, in your own way

I’m not here to please nobody

I walk my path, I own my story

This peace I keep, it’s mine to hold

No one’s hand to shake, no lies to fold

Phone lights up, “you awake?”, oh him again

Thought I’d delete, never reply, but cave in

Text after text, same old line

Tired of the chase, still can’t draw the sign

Scrolling for hours, patience wears thin

Every little ping, reminds me where I’ve been

I tell myself, block him today

But shadows linger, can’t push away

Laugh at the memes, sip my tea slow

Friends call, I smile, but it’s all for show

City lights blur, train hums my song

Inside I’m restless, but I play along

I bite my lips, heart beats too loud

Eyes on my path, won’t get lost in the crowd

Every night I vow, tomorrow’s mine

Breaking the hold, one step at a time

I’m not here to please nobody

I walk my path, I own my story

This peace I keep, it’s mine to hold

No one’s hand to shake, no lies to fold

Night falls, streets alive, I own the beat

Rules I hated, toss them to the street

Shout my fire, can’t play their game

No more whispers, no one to blame

Friends cheer, strangers glare, I don’t care

Trail I blaze, freedom in the air

Every step forward, I reclaim my space

No more shadows, I set my pace

Phone stays silent, I sip my wine

Laugh at my past, that foolish line

City hums low, heart finally clear

I’m done surviving, now I steer

Ticking off everything that held me down

Smiles on my face, no frown, no crown

Every night I rise, awake and higher

Finally me, unstoppable fire

I’m not here to please nobody

I walk my path, I own my story

This peace I keep, it’s mine to hold

No one’s hand to shake, no lies to fold

Learning to put me first

Choosing silence over the worst

I’m tired, but this space is mine

Every small win

Learning to put me first

Choosing silence over the worst

I’m tired, but this space is mine

Every small win

I’m not here to please nobody

I walk my path, I own my story

This peace I keep, it’s mine to hold

No one’s hand to shake, no lies to fold
