Just feeling that
feeling of worthlessness,

I isolated, I was
in my room.

If I wasn't working, I
was in my room.

I was watching people
fish outside my window

while I'm in there drinking
a beer with a fishing pole

on my wall wishing I
was out there with them,

you know, just
things like that.

It was just an emotional
rollercoaster,

ups and downs.

So there is a lot of
different emotions

and unfortunately
at the time

I would cover a lot of them
up with anger which

kinda got me

into the predicament I was
in in the first place, so.
