Analysis of I wish that I knew what I didn't know
Most of the time - I say I don't know.
Typically people tell me I am a no-show.
My off-kilter mind is in a limbo
Dark spirals, take my medicine - it's a rainbow.
I rain down on my parade to make it snow.
I wish that I knew what I didn't know.
I would take a shower if self-care meant - letting go.
I take a deep breath, and I go slow
I hope my dreams elevate me
