Watch Over Me

You're there. Constantly
watching everything I do,
taking note of who I'm with
and what we're doing, even when you
don't want to know.

That pair of eyes, burning
holes in my pure white skin.
Your contempt at my freedom
and your confinement leaves
me scarred.

I am never alone.
I cannot do anything without you
seeing it or
hearing it or feeling it.
I feel your presence.

You haunt me every
moment of every day. I try to
make you disappear, go away,
but I can't. You won't go. You won't let me
live my life.

I want to make my own mistakes,
but how can I if you're
always guiding me away
from danger? I feel the need
to break free.

Some moments I am free. Free to
do whatever I want, without you
there to stop me. And then,
once again, you make your
presence felt.

Watching over me is making
it so much more diffficult
for me to change into
someone I am happy with, but
you don't get it.

I need to be set free.
Unchain yourself from
my spirit, my soul,
and let my life, alone,
begin.
