SUFFOCATING

Gotta run away, get away.
Don't wanna face it.
Don't wanna race it.
Just wanna live and breathe
And not worry 'bout a thing.

Everyone around me-
Trying to surround me-
Suffocate my energy-
Stifle spontaneity.
Crying inside.
Wanna run and hide.
But my haunting self
Will follow wherever I go.
I can't run away from me.
But I can warn you
Don't get close-
You'll get hurt.
I have no heart for anyone.
I keep it to myself.
Not out of fear of rejection-
But fear of acception.
Don't want to be loved.
Not quite yet.
The scars haven't healed.
Probably never will.
Life will move on
And I will be ok.
But you won't be here very long.
So I'm happy today.
