you hear me but you don't
see me

now your story makes sense
you
ten
ton
bug
living in my soul
eating my ebola
hating my joy
you're never there when I need you
but awake enough to piss me off
who let you in and
why can't I evict you
tenant mole
scaring everyone off
because myself is what you are
not what you want me to be
