Hikikomori

Know your place, and stick
To where you belong
Erasing memories of great
Things leaves you stranded
Remember when you were happy?
Those times you felt weighed down?
They're equally valid
Equally a part of you

Proving a point is meaningless
I'm eloquently showing effort
But you haven't seen bones snapping
The way I left was insensitive
Chasing after the first unapparent thing

The outsiders looking in
With so much remorse
My hands held out to all
No one takes them in
The outsiders looking in
With so much remorse
My hands held out to all
No one takes them in

I'm tired of neglect
The people I kept so close
Intentions aren't met
So I'm just a recluse
