Silence

I just want to sit in silence and not do a thing
I'm going to ignore my phone if it rings
You can call me selfish because I need alone time
But I can't deal with you, when I'm struggling with my own mind

People tend to speak a bunch of nonsense I don't care to hear
I don't want a girl here to cuddle with or share my fears
I don't want a friend over to have a drink with
I want to be alone with my own Mind and ink it

Usually I've got the patience to cope but today I feel different
I don't want to talk or listen
I paid for all of my mistakes and there wasn't a half price offer
So today I'm tired and want to be alone with no bother 

My demons are knocking but today they're not getting in
I'm in a battle with depression but I'm going to win
When I tell people I'm bipolar they tend to fear me
Which today works in my favour as I don't want anybody near me

I just want to sit in silence and not do a thing
I'm going to ignore my phone if it rings
You can call me selfish because I need alone time
But I can't deal with you, when I'm struggling with my own mind
