there it is
the familiar disconnect
saying
run
run far away
and never return

run from your responsibilities
run from the truth
run from your fears, they won't follow you
run from the lies, you deserve better anyhow
run from your friends, they don't need you
run from the light that keeps you warm
run from the freedom you did nothing for
run from place you call home, call it temporary
run from yourself,
recreate your mind
your body
your soul
you
you are now me
i am now you
and i am not who you were
just five minutes ago

i am a voice
a thought
the persona you wish didn't exist
i am the voice that leads you in the direction you should go
i am the voice that speaks softly to you in your sleep
