Pushing Away

Every day I go to school and every one is there
They try to help me and I push them away  
I give them grief
I make them mad
I give them a reason to hate me and a reason to push me away
I hope one day they will realize why I do what I do
I do feel bad about pushing them away
But I do it for my own good 
So I guess I’m doing myself a favor
I push and push
And push some more
I make them leave and they don’t come back
It is my fault
But I can’t help it
Sadly it’s true
