I need a break from myself
I find myself quite tiring
I don't know what my problem is
Perhaps it's faulty wiring

If I try to get stuff done
I'm always in the way
Offering alternatives
For how to spend the day

So I give up the tasks
And try to have a rest
But I turn up again
And remind me why I'm stressed

So I think it's time that I and I
Spend some time apart
It's not that I don't like me
In fact it breaks my heart

I always used to say
I enjoyed my time alone
But now I find increasingly
I'm scrolling on my phone

So I need some time away
From my distracting self
I'll be much better for it
I might even fix that shelf

The trouble is I can't escape
And I never will, I fear
It doesn't matter where I hide
I find I'm always here
