Take a step back from me please
Walk away before you see my disease
I don't want to talk because I say far too much
I don't want a hug or a comforting touch
It doesn't make any of the pain subside
It doesn't erase the scars on the inside
I don't know if you are human or monster
So please, just leave me alone, sir
I don't even know if I am human or monster
It seems I may be half and half, sir
With so many scars stitching this smile to my face
It may seem unnerving or way out of place
Mainly its forced, so it seems like nothing is wrong
My words weave a pretty yet deceitful song
I'm fine, thanks for asking - I am hanging in there
Just so it seems I haven't a care
it keeps up these walls I built to keep you out
Or to lock myself away - so no one could hear me shout
Its my double edged dagger I planted in my own back
Its a personal torture another turn on the rack
I can isolate myself in a room full of others
Because I was always alone even with my siblings and mother
They saw me as a sum of all the trauma inflicted
I was the burden - Which is why I live life conflicted.
