Why I Decided to Leave
What makes you think I won't go
What seems to be holding me back
I've sat alone in the dark
As I watched you walk away
From my bleeding body
What makes you think you’re the victim
What seems to say I'm the bully here
I'm the one who had to learn
How to ignore your cruel words
And deal with my corrupt thoughts
What makes you think i'm your friend
What seems to keep me by your side
I thought i'd been clear
I want to get away from here
I really don't care anymore
What makes you think I'm the strong one
What seems to make me that tough
It's not even a secret now
I can't break your chains
Maybe I'm weaker than you thought
What makes you think I wanted this life
What seems to say that I chose these people
Maybe they chose me
And set out the trap again
So I cannot leave til my final breath
What makes you think its that easy
What seems to give away all the hints
You think you'd pass this test
But let me tell you one thing
You failed before taking it
What makes you think I'm not dead inside
What seems to keep me alive still
My thoughts rip me apart
Corroding what's left of me
Before it all goes to waste

There was too much drama and bullying in my friend group two years ago, and I wrote this as a way for me to get my feelings out after I tried abandoning those friendships. They kept coming back and trying to suck me back in to their twisted lies.
