I don't like things


  I don’t really like things 

   Maybe it’s just my personality.

   I don’t really hate you 

   I am just not outgoing.

   I don’t really wanna be you 

   I just can’t say no. 

   I don’t really wanna be strong 

   I'm just the only one left. 

   It’s like a one way mirror

   I can see you, but you can’t see me.  

   But that doesn’t mean you should write me off as a hater

   Because i’ll feel more than you ever will. 

   With all of these things I don’t like 

   There's you. 

   You make me want to like things 

   But every fiber of my being is telling me not to 

   When I am near you I just want to crush you. 

   Because you're penetrating my walls

   Walls that I spent years putting up  

   So if you could just back off that would great

   Cause as much as I like you 

   I like my walls more.
