A Different Way Have you ever been stripped Of everything you own? One by one The things did fall I would continue to Lose more When I thought I'd lost it all But knowing at times How much I had gained There was a time I couldn't find What was most important It is true I had almost lost my mind Living in a prison Lying to the guard Telling him what he wanted to hear Pretending that I wanted To be near When really I wanted to be far Shackles of my own doing Held by a silent cord He knowing What buttons to push He knowing Where to hook Stripping me bear Just keeping me alive Barely But inside I was starting to die I found out You can not live Without happiness Your thoughts need to be Your own Knowing what he was Capable of Knowing what it took So he Would let me go But looking back I never took A second look Something was wrong I knew deep inside His love Was not love It was if I was guided By someone else's hand Some people die But I made a conscience decision To live and to survive Now that I look back I see I've been a prisoner my whole life This world is very new to me So nieve So innocent One hand To the next They passed off the key I did not understand What it would entail To break free I've always lived in a prison I can spot it a mile away But will continue To sit here alone Because although there are few This is my home Until I learn A different way Author: Silver Goddess
