Withdrawal

Withdrawing into myself

It's the only place I'm safe, my slate

Away from all the energy,

That is full of hate

Only I can count on me,

A subject recognized as of late

I'm starting to disbelieve

In things like love and fate

Unwanted, from before I was even born

A wound I've been internalizing

Making my soul just feel tired, worn

Situations and people, their ideas and goals,

I'm no longer torn

The pain, the hate, the hurt that people continue to give

Keep that S*** coming!

They are becoming my own life lessons,

On how not to live

Every slander, and every distrust

They really are the time that make us
