Everything has gotten easier, and so much worse,
the ground doesn't get closer if you don't look down,
the problems don't go away.

I learned to shut off, my hands shake with regret,
lessons in agony; you don't just forget.

you don't play with matches cause you have to.
you don't run with scissors because you have to.

It's in my nature,
it's in her nature,
breathing for the air,
eating for the flavor.

do me a favor, don't do me any favors.

I don't want to know you, I'm not someone you can go to,
I gave you away, don't act like I sold you.

Bark and sneer at me, I don't do what I'm told to.
I'm not angry, I just don't have nething to say.

What do you want from me?
Go ahead, ask me to forget.

Ask me to drool and follow,
ask me to become everything you need.
Isolationists like me
need to be contained.
