Lost in thought
My mind on this and that
On these expectations
That have me trapped
Chained to a wall
With a plaster-cated smile
All the while
Knowing this is not me
Knowing that this is fake
Wanting to be released
By this venomous snake
It's ready to strike
And tear me down
At the first mistake that I make
Alerted, it listens to every sound
Waiting to pounce when I start to shake
Eyes on me
Waiting to see
Some sign of weakness
So it can finally devour me
