I try to escape
These problems are not my own
But something keeps me in
Maybe it is my friends
The ones who I care about
The ones who were hurt
If anything it should be for them
I should try to stay strong for them
And the thing is
I seem to be doing it for them
And for others as well
I don't understand
I have tried multiple times
Always coming so close to escape
Only to find myself dragged in again
I try to tell myself it isn't my problem
But I know that is a lie
It became my problem
 The second I opened my ear
I listened
I got involved
Ever so slightly
I was involved
I couldn't just abandon it
So I come back
And I realize that I will always come back
Simply because of my open ear
