Are You Living or Are You Existing?

A great someone once said,

"No one else is dealing with your demons,"

But for way too long I've lived in my head

And now I'm drained and weakened

When my surroundings crowded

I wanted to be alone

And when my pained eyes clouded

I prayed to be thrown

Away with the frosty air

They said, "forget," in a smug tone

Tell me: How? And why do you care?

A great someone once said,

"No one else is dealing with your demons,"

Thus, I'll be running away, no regrets

No existing, no forgetting, and no emotions
