I have lack-of-self awareness
That’s what makes me sick
Out of everyone to have this shit
I’m just the one I’d pick
•
But knowing that it’s there
Doesn’t make it any better
I know enough of me to know
I’m accurate to the letter
•
Knowing that you’re no one
Doesn’t help you grow
Knowing that you feel alone
Is a useless thing to know
•
I know none of it’s true of course
But therein lies the trick
When you’re aware you lack yourself
It’s what you feel that sticks
•
The only thing i have
Is a razor-sharp mind
I see in them what people don’t
I see it all the time
•
But turn that laser onto me and it gets a lot less constructive
Now I see my PhD is not fucking productive
•
Knowing that you’re no one
Doesn’t help you grow
Knowing that you feel alone
Is a useless thing to know
•
I know none of it’s true of course
But therein lies the trick
When you’re aware you lack yourself
It’s what you feel that sticks

To be aware of having a lack of self-awareness is (I would say) the next level of self-awareness. Hyper-self-awareness? Or does it have too many hyphens? Maybe, omniself-awareness? 'Now I see my PhD is not fucking productive' - oh no, I hope it's just a figure of speech and it goes all well for you! If not, just know that you're not alone on this seemingly non-productive journey:-D
