Wants & Needs


You cant hear me? 

I’m f****ing screaming, 

Yelling, exclaiming, proclaiming!

What more can I say 

To get you to understand! 

You can’t see me? 

I’m dark, in this life most clearly

I don’t blend in with the scenery

You can’t feel me? 

My hands are holding your shoulders

Though they are about to find your neck 

Invisible? 

How can that be? 

As soon as I say or do something 

You can use,

All of a sudden, 

You can see 

I need to get away from you 

From all of you 

I need to get out of here 

Before I lose control of a single tear

You’re an ass

I’m your friend, 

I care, 

I listen, 

I’m there, 

Where are you? 

I need you,

 

 

Or 

I need someone

I want someone to care

I want someone to miss me 

I want to not feel lonely 

I want to be happy 

But that’s unfeasible

If I can’t be me

I get it

What I want 

and what you need 

Will never me synonomous 

So I'll just sit over here 

To pack up and leave 

Because you, 

You'll never get the chance to see me bleed
