CompanionshipMature

Unwanted company

Get out.

I never asked for you to be here,

I didn't want your insults, your lies, your...

Suicidal ties.

But then you laugh,

Then you say 'goodbye' - and leave,

And it's only me.

I become free

From your persistent taunting and name calling and bullying and-

-I will not let it get to me.

I won't let it go round and round

(and round and round)

in my head and keep me up every night.

But I never sleep,

Because it never leaves.

Because deep down, I need

Its voice.

Its screaming, hate-filled cackle.

Without it I am nothing,

Without it I am free,

Without it I am my own person,

Someone who I don't want to be.

Honestly, I'd rather be trapped with an enemy,

Inside these concrete walls.

I'd rather hear its terrible voices,

Than hear nothing, or no one, at all.
