Sometimes

People annoy me. 
Really;
Get away from me! 
It's not you, 
It's me. 
Once
In 
A 
Blue; 
Behind my 
Baby blue- 
Eyes,
I hide... 
SECRETS!                                                         (That) 
Sometimes-I-wish-I-was-you. 
Even though, 
You annoy me. 
It is me 
That you; 
Annoy. 
Leave me alone! 
Please!? 
My air…, 
THIS IS MY AIR! 
You can't…;  have-it! 
I won'-t...
Let-you!
Am I actually guarding my own territory? 
Like a
Dog…?
Scared-E-cat;
Hiding from yourself 
Once in a blue; 
Eyes that you lie through your teeth with. 
Once you lie with your teeth;
Blue eyes 
That are misleading; 
To say the least- 
Rolls down hill-
Eyes roll as your teeth lie. 
Bad attitudes spread like… 
--Sexually transmitted diseases--
Sometimes, 
This mentality rolls…
Downhill.
Affecting us all and landing on the very… 
Bottom; 
We are all down there.
We all start there.
The very bottom; 
You forgot, 
That;
Sometimes...
