Why won’t you go away
The medicine I take won’t work
You fester below me
You pester above thee
I have to hold you back
Nothing is this simple
The addiction you have for me
will boil my flesh if I say, “Hi”
Why won’t you go away
and take your self with you
If I get numb, I may forget
and let you get
I have to hold you back
but not give you my back
The addiction needs direction
And satisfaction needs freedom
that I will not allow
It will never rain in my house
Even a mouse can hear a mouse
I will shout the right way
