Gotta Get Away

Gotta Get Away

Ryou screamed, slamming the door behind
him. It had happened again today, his
friends (or at least he thought they were) had risked their lives yet again to
save him from himself.

“No not myself… from you!!” Ryou said shakily, staring
at the evil reflection he saw in the mirror.
His breath quickened and in a rush, he slammed his fists into the mirror
to destroy that evil monster.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> He didn’t even feel the
glass cut his hands, or see the blood dripping down his arms.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He only felt the pressure of the walls as
they slowly closed in on him. His hands
shook from the impact and his breath was alive with fear.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He could still hear his laughtthatthat haunting
maniacal laughter that haunted the back of his mind, pressing him like a heavy
burden, something he always had to carry.

style='mso-tab-count:1'> His vision blurred and
he wavered back and forth, finally falling backwards and collapsing onto the
bed. How much he wanted to sleep, he
hadn’t really slept in a long time, always fearful that the moment he did so, class=GramE>the monster within him would arise and threaten those he
cared about most.

He laughed then, a slow nervous laugh as the
reality of the situation began to cascade around him.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He was no more than a paranoid freak anymore,
and they all recognized that. class=GramE>His friends, his teachers, his classmates, everyone.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>

It was then that the phone rang.

Ryou continued lying on the bed, wide awake,
letting the phone ring. He couldn’t bear
to put up with his friends any longer.
It was probably Yugi calling him, and he knew the boy meant well, but
for some reason…

“Kill
him… just kill him, take the puzzle for yourself!”style='mso-spacerun:yes'> The voice murmured evilly.style='mso-spacerun:yes'>

style='mso-tab-count:1'> “I..
I can’t take this anymore… I’ve gotta get away…”style='mso-spacerun:yes'> He whispered, panting and placing his sweaty
and bloody palms onto the sheets of the bed.
Then, he spoke louder, “AWAY FROM ME!”

style='mso-tab-count:1'> Then the laughter burst
forth from within him, the loud insane laughter that belonged to himself.style='mso-spacerun:yes'> Tears poured down his cheeks then, for he
knew he would not leave the bed. He would
go back to class tomorrow and act like nothing was wrong, and it would all
start again…

This
is a short songfic that I wrote from one of my
favorite Offspring songs. This is the
not so magical and pretty side of me, but it’s still there so I have to talk
about it you know?

Gotta Get Away

I'm
getting edgy all the time

There's
someone around me just a step behind

It's
kinda scary, the shape I'm in

The
walls are sn' and they're closing in

Too
fast or a bit too slow

I'm
paranoid of people and it's starting to show

There's
one guy that I can't shake

Over
my shoulder is a big mistake

Sitting
on the bed

Or
lying wide awake

There's demons in my head

And
it's more than I can take

I
think I'm on a roll

But
I think it's kinda weak

Saying
all I know is

I
gotta get away from me

I
tell you something just ain't right

My
head is on loose but my shoes tightight

Avoiding
my friends cause they all bug<:p>

Life
is a riddle and I'm really stumped

If
you reason, don't you know

Your
own preoccupation is where you'll go

I
think I'm being followed, I look around

It's
only my shadow creepin' on the ground
