Leave me Alone


They flock to me because they're well aware I don't need them

They want me, to want them

And I want none of them,

None of you can give me what I seek.

It's an insatiable hunger that plagues my heart

It has corrupted me, it has changed me, it has made me numb

It has made me aware

It has made me strong

Don't take it personal, you are not damaged, you are not unsightly

You simply do not have what I want,

I understand that is cruel,

But it would inevitably end me

If I settled for you

When I can take so much more.
