Why do we often times hang onto
That which holds us back
Thinking it pushes us further
But in reality sucks the life
Right out of us,
Why do we let energy leachers
Into our life
And ignore all the signs?
Maybe it's because we're too scared to lose
That feeling we have for that one person
And fear we'll never find it again in another
Despite the mistreatment
Despite knowing deep down
Something is very wrong,
I think we let it be because in the moment
We think being with them is worth the trouble
And they'll change one day,
Just not today
Or anytime soon
Because a leech doesn't change its purpose
Just to make you happy,
A leech does as it has always done,
The one thing it knows how to do
I'm keeping my energy to myself
And I'm thriving
