Punish Me

Do you ever feel like your living a lie?
It leaves me feeling lonely so all I can do is 
cry.
Wishing things would be the same,
Instead of playing this stupid little game.
Do you even know what this is doing to 
me?
Your so blind to my needs it's me you 
can't really see.
So many disturbances inside,
One is I feel like I have just died.
I can't handle the hurt and pain,
Let alone fell like I have gone insane.
You seem to be standing in my way,
Apparently you want me to snap today.
I can't get you to back off and let me be,
I'm about to walk out the door and hand 
you the key.
We've been playing this game for far to 
long,
And your not going to punish me for 
learning how to be strong.
If you want me to stay,
Than with me you have to be more than 
just okay.
You need to stand beside me,
Or turn and flee
