Their Call

This the kind of person I am

I run towards those who don’t love, those who can’t appreciate me

Those who don’t give a damn 

If I agree or disagree

 

The pain has become a drug 

The tears I spare, something I don’t see

but I don’t want to unplug

Because only with it do I feel free

 

The fire in them calls my name 

I can’t help but yield its call

my head tells me my heart to reclaim 

but on my own I feel so small

 

I can’t explain how or why 

I run towards those who hurt me most 

They push me down, but I feel high 

What’s left to fight – a ghost

 

I sit here thinking in my mind

How their words cut more than any blade 

But my heart, now theirs, has me confined

And truth is im afraid 

 

I want to break free

I want to run away from it all 

But this has become me

And there goes their addicting call.
