This feeling won’t leave me, It presses harder with my footsteps. What is it, following me ceaselessly, Keeping me alert wherever I am? If you ask me, I won’t give an answer. You told me to write it down—so I started leading a diary. Anyone would confuse my notes for a psycho’s. It’s ironic that I’m willing To dwell in asylum. Because— I worry about people who don’t deserve it. I’m scared I’ll forever be skulking from problems. And why do I only feel happy and free When I daydream, walking in circles for years?
