This One Time I Was Super Bored

Spotlight

Unrelenting, starry eyes,

A fucked up game of cheats and lies,

With every whisper, plunge a blade,

From every star a wish is made,

Idle gossip,

Friends of friends,

How long 'till this torture ends?

Under spotlight, 

Half a smile,

Hoping that it lasts a while,

Give me space and

Give me time,

Why is crying such a crime?

Sweating rivers,

Nervous tick,

I can't stand that cocky prick,

Just a moment,

Maybe two,

Wishing I could make it through.

Socialising,

Patronising,

Under siege,

Could you stop prying?

Up to leave,

No looking back,

There's no light left,

My soul's black.

Beaten up,

Broken down,

Feeling like I'm gonna drown,

Leave me be,

I'll rest in peace,

Consider it a sweet release.
