Why do you have an effect on people?
Why do you always have to hide in shame?
Why do you draw me to yourself?
Like I am the fly and you are the trap.
With most people you would leave a tar taste,
But for me you taste like honey.
The way you just roll out of my mouth.
When I say your name people flip out,
And think that I need help.
I laugh at them.
Many have tried to get me help but it never works.
Whenever you come to mind,
I think of ways to make people cringe.
I think it’s funny to watch them think of my ways.
No one has been able to find out why,
I think like the way I do,
Yes, Mr. Death you are my only true friend
Always have and always will be
