A Private Affair

I don't know
I don't care
I just want to get out of here

This space
This time
Is no longer serving me

I can't
Take a breath
It's been harder and harder to breathe

I need to be
Some place I can call my own
With room to grow
And room to be alone

Curled up into a little ball
I'll fit those tiny spaces
Places where the shadows hide

I don't know

I don't care

I just want to get out of here

This age

This day

Needs to come to an end now

It's been far

Far too long

The minutes must pass somehow

Close my eyes

Hold my breath

Block out the sounds of this death

I fear no one here

This is a private affair

I can't just share

I don't know

I don't care

I just want to get out of here

It's a private affair

A private, private, private affair
