"NIGHTMARE"

You? want to cage me?

Then ENRAGE ME!

You want to strip me?

Then HIT ME!

I cant help but laugh at you

The way you walk in stride

With your head held high in pride

Feeling like you are a "man" by what you do

To the ones who shiver in fear because of you

I cant help but laugh at you

Walk up and strike you

And your "egotistic"male pride

Come tumbaling down

Tears burning my very skin

Blood leaving my bones dry

Lifting my hands to attack you

Feeling my wrists hit the ground

For I am tied and I AM BOUND

And I am able to do nothing but cry

As my lips change to a new hue-blue.

I am screaming inside

This big ol heart of mine

I have my withering secrets to hide

Fake smiles and a fake line

Leaving my lips to speak a lie

The painful truth is

Everybody listens to the lies

Believing that sweet charm of his

While I grin

Knowing I am screaming inside

This big ol heart of mine

Knowing I have my withering secrets to hide

Blinking once or twice

Releasing my prison clenched fists

Air filling every depth of my being

Realizing it is I who is paying the price

Walking this path with all of its twists

Leading in a circle within these prison walls I am seeing

Coated in a thick black and no signs of life

Inhaling and exhaling the cold truth

That there is no open door

Searching and feeling and crying

Finding not even a small window

But laying this ol body on my floor

Hands stretched out tired of fighting

Feeling the life drain from my soul

Knowing this is the very last of me...

Peace fills me and I find my serenity.
