Take Me or Leave Me

I run my own life and all my selfish desires;
I kick and scratch at my hopes and all is know again.
It kills me that I push you up inside my depression.

The pencils write again in speed on the paper;
And the deep empathy buys in:
I spend my burden of all the past causing shame.

I chased you forlorn that there is much pity
And it destroyed me inside, interfered with me so deep
And it kills me that I force you to ride my depression.

Fear thinks that I am something,
The sprite lust of the moons writes:
"Sing to the stars and with your bright future"

I hoped you'd dream the way that you wish,
But I speak so angry and I blink your eyes.
Destroying that of which makes you who you are.

I should have wished for a life instead;
At least back home wants they need me again.
Destined apart from that without I shall live.

I need not that who you claim to be,
Your lies have overcome my happiness.
I know not where you've been.

And so you call out to me,
"Take Me or Leave Me", I feel no guilt.
You have lost everything I gained

Alone is no wicked prison,
Like that which I was contained.
Freedom brighten my spirits, weakens your grasp
