I don’t know youBut I know of youI’ve spoken to youBut never spoken with youYou’ve listened to meBut never actually heard what I saidYou spew your wordsAs if you’re a godAnd I, am merely nothingDo you see me as human?Because I amDo you see yourself as something mighty?All I see you as is something pitifulYou don’t know meBut then again, I don’t think you careWhat do you even care about?Your pride? Your ego?You project a chilling coldnessOne that keeps everyone awayWhat are you afraid of?Someone getting close to you in some way?Day by day, you confuse me moreI don’t understand youBut I’m not sure I want toHow can you?How could you?Why do you?Actually, I don’t care.
