Isolated here in the trenches of thought My mind is numb and somewhat distraught Wandering notions, discontented stare Memories creeping, take me unaware Clenching my breast, I call out in fear The man from my dreams will soon disappear Undermining my ability to stand my own ground Psychotic thinking, not very sound Madness in degrees, plunging to go wild Breaking lose inside me, an innocent child Afraid of my own shadow, scared in other ways Beaten down by raindrops, wind and sun rays Trampling upon a weakened flower The taste in my mouth unwittingly sour A sweet caress, once made in vain Lasting emotion you set out to feign Dont give me your lip, its been said before I completely know of your redundant lore He who sets out to play this game Shall play to lose, with growing shame Wrong actions made, tearing me loose Around my neck, a tightened noose Breathe of my life, take away my ire Bowing before my tyrannical sire Shackle me down, make me do your bidding Not to move one bit, alarmingly fitting I stand before you to be snubbed away Tears fall from my eyes, in constant dismay Rendered even, with no upper hand My royal liege so disturbed and bland Drawing down the moon, its decietful grin Stagnant air surrounding, the atmosphere thin Unscrew my body, dismember my essence Not taking notice of my acquiescence My many dreams I have memorized Escaping from this, I fantasize Only to be trapped here, once and all over My mind is aware and completely sober Lock me inside your gilded cage For my mistakes as I turn the page My freedom I see, eternally longing My tortured state you are prolonging My body is weak my thoughts you do maul Right or wrong you indeed shall fall My freedom I want and I now envision Dreaming of escape, locked in my own prison |
