Justin Chen
Egoist, My ego is high like my head.
My ego is as high as the tower in France.
My ego gives me hope and strength to work
My ego is my crutch my little perk
Overthinker, and underachiever.
I wish I had more time, More to do with my little life.
Not enough effort, not enough pressure
Nothing I want to do......... or try......
excuses
I go to sleep with my head held high.
Knowing I could have done a little better.
As time runs out I close my eyes.
My ego is as high as the tower in France.
My ego gives me hope and strength to work
My ego is my crutch my little perk
Overthinker, and underachiever.
I wish I had more time, More to do with my little life.
Not enough effort, not enough pressure
Nothing I want to do......... or try......
excuses
I go to sleep with my head held high.
Knowing I could have done a little better.
As time runs out I close my eyes.
