Stay Away
take my hand ill take you there
to the depths of pain and despair
its like liquid fire spraying those near
spreading distrust, hurt, and fear
let go ill understand I would too
its selfish disregard that I want you
I see the people hear the voices
hear the options make the choices
individual thought a thing of the past
I wanted help but scared to ask
it hurts so bad it stings inside
makes me feel nothing run and hide
I run away and it stays the same
with each new place I feel no change
I’m running from myself everyday
but I’m so dead tired cant keep the pace
lay down, cry, and pray
just for one more happy day
it never comes I keep on waiting
the more time passes I keep fading
hold on to me and feel it to
I’m not good for myself nor for you
