Can You Hear Me?
Hello? Can you hear me? I’m right here, beside you! Why are you ignoring me? It’s not like you to act like this Afterall,
It’s not in your nature to ignore me
Hi again! How are you feeling today? I hope that you’re well Just sit down and let me calm your mind It’s my life’s purpose To be a helper, a teacher, a friend
It’s not in your nature to feel calm without me
You walk with me Talk with me Tell me things React to what I say You put all of your trust in me You rely on me You completely depend on me
So why are you going away now? Are others more important than me? Look at me! You always do! You’re the one who’s always bothering me! Every single second of my life, you keep me at hand! It’s like you’re glued to me! I didn’t want it to be that way
Woops! I’m so sorry for shouting at you like that! I just don’t feel like myself today... I want to help you, teach you, help you reach out to others,
It’s not in your nature to stay mad at me for long
After all, you need me You can’t go out in the world alone! You’re making my job easier for me too You want to fall into the pit of mindless obsequiousness
You want to get lost in the voices of many others You care about what they say about you You wanted to feel accepted, so you let yourself get judged
It’s in your nature to want to feel validated
Hey I know this isn’t working out So, I guess it’s bye for now? I hope you’re happy that you’re letting go of me But tell me something, Can you really let go of me? You see, you thought that you could take advantage of me, but it ended up the other way around, even though I had no intention to I trapped you in a void, even though I don’t even know what it is I manipulated you, even though I didn’t know how to
It’s in your nature to be easily manipulated
But isn’t it funny? You want to leave me But you can’t No matter what you do I will always be with you I will always be staring at you, and you will always be staring at me I will always be by your side and you will always keep me by your side If I die, you can easily replace me, but my influence on you lasts forever It tends to You were my project, and I got an A+ I try restricting your will, and you comply I did my job and you followed my every step willingly You made everything so easier for me So, thank you! I guess I’m done using you Who has the last laugh now?
It’s in your nature to give up
