I Don't Need Them

"I don't need them"

I say to me

Wondering what

Without them I'd be

People drive

Me insane

But is it really

That bad of pain?

I really feel like

Without them I'm nothing

But with them I am

Also suffering

If I were always

Alone with my mind

If they all

Left me behind

If life continued

To hit me down

Leaving me with my thoughts

Alone to drown

If I had nothing

To hold onto

I would sink

Leaving behind no clue

If all my blood

Streamed onto the floor

I really wouldn't

Be so poor

At that point I would

Be free of the yearn

To get close to people

And have my heart burn

To develop a friendship

Oh so unique

Only for them

To realize I'm weak

Only for them

To see i'm worth nothing

After to them I

Was so trusting

"I don't need them"

I remind my ill brain

But without them I still

Will not be sane
