27 Reasons to Quit Smiling

I can't do this anymore,
it's driving me insane
I can't sit by
and watch
the world fall apart
and be sucked
into your black hole heart.

are you just as angry as I am?
I know you are...
You don't have to say a word...

it's all been done already,
all been said
it's all just repetition now,
too many situations
with too many outcomes
that have all been tried and played with,
and adjusted to each individual.

I don't want to play,
I don't want to listen...
I just want to sit here
and watch it all fly by.

I don't ever want to have anything
to do with you again.

ever...
no more...

I refuse to fall back in line
I refuse to be part of your domination...

I will stand up,
and stand apart,
and be who I am,
not who you want me to be.

never again....
