Escaping You

When I’m with you

I feel like I need to escape

I find different ways every time

I slip through your control

I promised myself no one could control me

Like you do

You tell me what I can’t do

I find a new way every time

First it was cheating

Then that was out ruled

Next it was drugs

Then it was ruled out

Now it’s cutting

Will I ever learn

Whenever I’m with you

I’m not me

One day you will find them

The scars that line my arm

Will you take that away from me too

Like you did the others

Maybe I should take you away from myself

I know if I tried what you do I’d be single in a second

Why is everything okay for you to do but not me

When I’m with you
