"Intervention" in "Read It and Weep"

But I won't soften in your arms

I bristle when you touch me

I won't break loose my love for you

Why? Because I"m angry!

You're all ganging up on me

All in the name of love

You lunge at me with open arms

Just begging for a hug

Don't any of you realize

You're pushing me away?

My space is getting smaller

with each boundary that I lay.

I feel so trapped inside this cage

No shelter from the rain

I'm standing at the window

Just scratching at the pane.

Your eyes all stare in pity

As I try and look away

I gaze off, into the sky

of melancholy gray.

Don't tell me that I'm paranoid

Don't tell me that I'm wrong

'Cause I've known this for quite some time

I know I don't belong.

And when I feel the 'sting'

of your smug indignity

This so called "intervention"

will be the death of me.
