Closing Up

I try to make my own decisions.

Not everyone will agree.

Words cut me deep like incisions.

There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm not an idiot that doesn't think

I choose who I care about.

These words I hear they make me sink

Its me I think you doubt..

It's time that I just be alone

and let everyone forget me

I'll shut myself inside my home

before you all regret me.

Don't knock or call there is no answer

that in-which you seek.

Your words to me are like a cancer

I wish you wouldn't speak.

I am now inside my hollow cavern

I have everything I need.

My memories will bounce and burn.

My mind will always bleed.

There's nothing more I want to do

than close the cellar door.

I'm not here impressing you

I can't see you anymore.

All is black inside my heart

And I'm bonded to my sorrows.

I continue to play my part.

I sure hope no one else follows.
