Untethered Today I don’t feel like talking Go away and leave me alone Don’t even think about calling me I will refuse to answer the phone Please don’t make any demands I find it so hard to say no It breaks me up if I can’t please I need the approval to show People can be so exhausting Their clamouring I can’t bear They drain my social battery And I have no energy to spare My front door is locked and bolted The rest of the world can’t get in I can’t deal with all of the chaos It puts my head into a spin No one to question my actions No one to give unwanted advice A wall to keep out all emotion Why would I even think twice In this agony of silence I have lost the power of speech Disconnected from humanity All help is beyond my reach I am lost inside my own mind My only guide is my self doubt This maze has become my prison The exit is not my way out Untethered from your reality Now I am drowning not waving Voices screaming inside my head They tell me I’m not worth saving And yet deep down in my core Hides a desperate need to survive If only I had some strength left Maybe I’d fight to stay alive
