HIJACK

I've turned everyone into enemies

And now I’m so alone,

I’m shooting down all my friends

Behind the fortress of my home.

I can’t look them in the eye

And try to understand

Because I’m busy defending, offending,

There’s no one left who can.

I’m dangerous with my weapons

Of cold words and harsh replies

And when I stop, I’m aghast

While I fumble to rectify

All of my mistakes;

Creating such pain

I’m so miserable and desperate

I want to hijack the next plane

Then I can demand they all listen

Be forced to see I’m just hurt and confused

And instead of trying to explain,

I lashed out and caused them their wounds.

Then I’d look them in the eyes

And they’d be forced to see

That I am no monster

-Just a very scared, little, me.
