Detach
Breaking away
From superior gazes
I don't want to hold onto
As they judge the descent
That I walk through in phases
Imagined or real
Paranoia revealed
By meeting their eyes
So I shot out the lights
Embracing the dark
Of untouchable slights
Spiralling downward
To meet with the night
Where no-one can see me
Where no-one can hear me
Where no-one can 'save' me
From whatever the truth is
That sticks in and bleeds me
From superior gazes
I don't want to hold onto
As they judge the descent
That I walk through in phases
Imagined or real
Paranoia revealed
By meeting their eyes
So I shot out the lights
Embracing the dark
Of untouchable slights
Spiralling downward
To meet with the night
Where no-one can see me
Where no-one can hear me
Where no-one can 'save' me
From whatever the truth is
That sticks in and bleeds me
