i stand transfixed by the mirror
the world comes to a halt
my heart guarding itself
why can't i just let it go?
their lives in standard flow
when you leave why can't i follow? "sad", you said. you don't know
well i would rather die
than have their words like phantoms
by my side
vacant memories of
everything i left behind
so i'll do what i'm told
just please
please don't leave me alone
you say, "come on, let your fear go"
but i don't seek solace in a lie
i felt their eyes
see through to my true nature
they said, "why? why would you try
to run from your true nature?"
i can't learn to love this
this is pointless
