Tell me all the secrets.
Why are you ignoring the obvious?
Can you not see through the shield?
You flatter me with your ignorance.
I should thank you for making this easier for me.
You've saved me the effort of caring.
Is a thanks in order?
Or should I hate you for hating me?
I know you see it,
My pain is staring you in the face.
Few recognize it and try to stop it.
Is two out of 100 worth it?
That's for you to decide.
Maybe you don't want to believe it,
But the inconsistency does.
One thing after another,
Pushes me closer to the edge.
Soon it will all be gone,
Goodbye.
