Keep Away

Please don’t misunderstand me

I didn’t mean this physically

It was far more metaphorically

That I didn’t want you near me

Distance

The closer
you get,
I wish
you were
further away.

Redundant

It’s
okay
to fail
sometimes

He
said

That
you
keep
trying
will
count

Tell
that
to the
bank
manager

She
said

As my
debts
continue
to mount

Searching
for
light

Raised
in
darkness

Our
numbers
grow

Despite
the
sparseness

I am
unsure
how it
happened

And I
certainly
don’t
know why

There’s
nothing left
for me to
do now

But
just sit
around
and cry

This weight
is too heavy

Its burden
is too great

Yet I struggle
on regardless

Resigned
to my fate
