Out Of My Way

Swiftly, you discourage me and drive my hopes away.
You aspirate that I won’t notice but I do, each day.

You see, I know these things because I truly used to care.
But over time I quickly saw you never acted fair.

I stopped living to please you and I frown much less.
Yet still, you smile oh so smugly and I feel a mess.

You tell me I’m not doing well when I give my all.
You want me to achieve and yet you giggle when I fall.

You roll your eyes at my defeat and then you put me down.
I do not understand your words and I hate the sound.

You’re here to help me reach my goals but you just don’t try.
Because of this I ask myself, what’s the reason why?

You seem unhappy since I’m here; tell me, should I leave?
I get that feeling, so I’m gone, shut the door now please.

Yes, I’ll get out of your way, in just a knick of time.
I swear, my dear, in a split second you’ll be out of mine.
