Emma Goldman - Don't Feel Guilty Just Do Better Lyrics

My actions
Are
A constant reminder
Of all my flaws

Feet tapping
Impatiently
Waiting for
An excuse to lash out
And seek sympathy

I'll read and write and strive to be right
But a lack of confidence keeps it bottled up
We all make mistakes, I'll tell myself
But mine form a trend

Have your voice heard
Have it be strong
But it will backfire and I will
Speak inappropriately

I've taken blades to try and cut it
But in the end it only leads to me pleading insanity
Take a note, accountability, move on in doing better
A word they like to call amends, that's better

Guilt is a crime
For its affinity
To possess
A lack of progress

I'm drowning in my own words
I never learnt how to swim in a stance
I question myself constantly
Whether they're my beliefs

Or just an effort to fit right in
Rock the boat I promise I won't get sea sick
Not anymore
