[hometext] => Why don't you just shut up and leave me alone? ( a teenagers point of view. )
[bodytext] => Close your mouth
bite on your tongue
I don't care what you have to say
I don't want it
words of reason
( my ears are bleeding )
conjuring up the walls
inside my head
just to drown it out
just to keep you behind a barrier
posed for the next attack
Ready to take another step backwards
in spite of you
Ready to throw it all away
shove it in your face
just to prove myself
I don't need your advise
you ORDERS
little insecurities
because you can't control me anymore
You never could
But it doesn't really matter
because I can't even hear you right now
All I hear is the ***** clock
thumping in my ears
every minute so incredibly clear
that I'm being pushed closer to the edge
where the pressure builds
steadily beneath the surface
I can feel something about to give
about to break
Every time you speak to me
Telling me what I think
Trying to pry
to reach into my head
twisting everything I tell you
and shoving me further away
Why can't you just shut up?
leave me alone
for once in my life
I don't need you there
when I finally break the silence
I'm not going to listen when you tell me to turn around
I won't back away from the edge
I won't do anything for you
I'm in perfect control
I control nothing.
And you're standing in my way
So shut up and leave.
I don't need a lecture on my imperfections
my flaws
More of your selfish words
filling my head.
Shut up.
Just shut up.
I've had enough of this
I'm not under your command anymore
I'm not your SLAVE
I can take care of myself
without you standing over my shoulder
telling me how to be
I can make it on my own
And I don't care if I fall
it's my choice
my life
I can live it without your insistent whining
in my ear
So why don't you just shut your mouth
and swallow those words
because they aren't worth hearing
