Mess at Best

Written in 2021 after a new kind of heartbreak, Mess at Best describes the uncertain and lonely position I found myself in. This time forced me to evaluate myself and the negative impacts on my life I had been choosing to ignore for a very long time. Today, I am happy. I am content with myself and by myself, but singing these lyrics will always remind me... it wasn't easy getting here.

Written when trying to analyse my want or need for love, the messes, the issues, the constant insecurity and the façade put over all of it like a blanket so I could pretend it didn't exist.

This is a rough version only. The backing needs work. I wrote this in a completely different way to how I normally write my songs, writing the lyrics and melody first before even sitting at my piano, and I think that is why something feels off.

This song was written for my Self, Identity and Agency assignment.
It was written examining my identity as a woman from a low socio-economic class with endometriosis experiencing the public healthcare system. The bitter truth is female (assumed) diseases are treated differently. More often than not, we are told it is normal to have pain and we are always asked if our mental health is okay - 'are you sure you're not depressed? Are you sure you're not just emotional?' 
This is the message I wanted to examine.

'Are you sure you're not fine?'
