Everyone Stop Needing

Everyone stop needing,
can’t you see how I try?
Feels like nothing but stress; 
A mask with a wide smile 
slow dancing with darkness;

Everyone stop needing!  
Popping off those demands,
such an abrasive touch!
It’s driving me insane,
always asking so much; 

Everyone stop needing! 
Wild goose is what you chase 
running down a cyclone; 
You’re not there when I ask,
leave well enough alone.
