You Won’t Remove Me

I know you wish I was out of the way…
Too bad you’ll never see that day.
Can’t you see you’ll never get rid of me?
It’s a complete impossibility.
If anyone must go, it will be you.
Leaving is the one thing I won’t do.
I stick like permanent glue…
And gum on the sole of a shoe.
I’m someone you can’t erase…
You won’t ever take my place.
I’m a mountain that you’ll never move.
It’s a waste of your energy.
Try if you must but you’ll fail…
I’m stronger than you’ll ever be.

Try It

So, you think that you’ll take my place…
Well, give it your best try.
If failure is what you like to face,
You’ll have plenty of tears to cry.
I’m like indelible ink…
There’s no erasing me.
Obviously the thoughts you think,
Will lead you to misery.
Removing the sun from the sky,
Is impossible to do…
And if you believe my end is nigh…
The delusional one is you.
