Tear-glistened eyes stare into mine,
They entice my soul to play along,
I crack a smile to show I'm fine,
Resisting has never felt so wrong,
Decorative words echo in my mind,
Attacking every sense until I fold,
Clenching my fists - my teeth grind,
My patience was not made to hold,
Outside is a world of fascination,
Built on a rigid frame of deceit,
Society is blind to the celebration,
Alone in pain - trying to be discrete,
I scream in anger, wanting to be heard,
Frustrated by the thought of sadness,
Not showing who you are is just absurd,
Am I the one drifting into madness?
Lies and cheating are common now,
Drugs are used to keep your mind clear,
This is more than I could ever allow,
Can't anyone see what's happening here?
Our dreams are born from sorrow,
Fear is used as a form of production,
There is no help left to borrow,
It has been bought for destruction,
Steal my breath and take my name,
There is no hope left to save,
Wait for death and drown in shame,
As you mark my words on my grave...
