Leave me Alone

Why won't you leave me alone
When you could be skipping stones
Across this ocean of blackish tone
Stop calling me on my cell phone
Knock knock knock
Oops
No ones home
Does it look like I want to talk
I'd hope not
Maybe I'll go for a walk
But then you would tag along
Stop trying to fix me
With your worry
You say you're sorry
But I'm not crazy
Just look at my leg
I should replace it with a peg
Maybe then you'll understand
Why your company I can't stand
Standing in my way
From having a really nice day
What is today
Is it yesterday
It could happen any day now
You're really not the one
That I'm angry at and undone
You just happened to be
The only one
To see
Oh please
You thought that I was done
Please
Go ahead and try to save me
My best friends name is insanity
We've got our minds set
And profanity
It's obviously best
To test
And strangle my humanity
Good morning
Good day
Good night
Oh and hallelujah
Because today
Is the day
My heart gives a sway
And suddenly I'm not breathing
Bleeding
Screaming
Speeding
Past and by
I, myself,  believe me and I
Could probably fly
If I decide to take flight
And fight
My way through
What do you want from me
A "I miss you"?
No way
You lose
Time to choose
Do I have time to tie my shoes
To get a running start
Starting up a 90 degree hill
It's just a pill
No it's a bill
To pass and allow myself a thrill-
Ing life
Tonight
It's better if I
Stop and ignite
These fireworks
Of flames
Fame
Glory
And the in between
Yes I have dreams
A little less mainstream
But then there is reality
It seems to know everything about me
Like how I'm dying
Oh you didn't know that?
I'm sorry I thought everyone knew
It seems like I only write about that
And how that
Contributes to the daily commute
And compute
The very meaning of
This fact of us being of
So maybe now you'll let me be
Because you don't want to see
What it is that's inside me
