Pushing Everyone Away

Folder: 
my poems

I push you away

but you still come back

everyday we fight

yet still you stick around

I don’t understand why

it doesn’t make sense

anyone else would have left by now

but your still standing there

asking me to care

asking me to love

to love myself enough to save myself

begging me to care about myself

but I don’t

I don’t care about me

and I deffinantly don’t love me

why should I

I mean up until now no one else has

sure you care now but it’s a little to late

there is just to much damage

you can’t fix it all

no one can

and I sure as hell can’t do it on my own

it’s just not possible

it’s not like flipping a switch

everything doesn’t just go away

sure I may hide it sometimes

but I’m tired of hiding it

I don’t want to anymore

and I can’t anymore

I can’t sit here and pretend anymore

it’s not worth it

it’s not worth my effort anymore

but as soon as th real me shows herself

as soon as the mask comes off

everyone jumps down my throat

out of nowhere everyone attacks

everyone suddenly cares

everyone suddenly wants to help

but I can’t handle this either

I don’t want everyone on my case

yes I ate

no I haven’t hurt myself

no I’m not getting thinner

I’m fine

I said I’m fine just go away

leave me alone

please go away

please leave me alone

stop asking questions

stop interrigating me

just go away

get off my case

stop it, stop annoying me

that’s it

I want everyone to go away

but to do that I must act

I must act like I’m fine

I must wear my mask of lies

I must start hiding things again

I will act like I’m great

I will act like I’m happy and chipper

you’ll never know the difference

you’ll just think that I’m all better

and I can go back to lying

lying to everyone is what I know

it’s the only thing that I’m good at

so let me do what I know

even if it tears me apart

even if it means that I go back to my old ways

even if it means that I don’t get help

I would rather make you leave me alone

then get help

because I don’t need your help

I don’t nee anyones help

I’m fine on my own

I have been for the past six years

I don’t think that one more year

or even one more month will make a difference

if I’m not dead yet

then I probably won’t be dead tomorrow

or in a month or a year

so let me push you away

as far away as possible

I will push everyone away

this way no one can fight with me

no one can question my every move

no one can worry

I’ll isolate myself

and slowly let myself disintagrate

slowly let myself colapse

but it will be ok

because for all you know

I’ll be healthy

I’ll be fine
