Surviving the Rat Race

by Amanda   May 2, 2007


You show you have no heart
The whole reason we are apart
Forgetting will be hard
But even after I will be on guard
I will not open myself to people like you
You tricked me and I never even knew

Stop the bleeding with this tourniquet
I see nothing but your silhouette
and Your standing over me as I choke
Laughing as if it was all just a joke
I cry out and to god I pray
Let me die I have nothing left to say
A light shines on me as I start to succumb
and a voice says, "Do not be bothered by the likes of some...
You will live, and someone better will be along...
And erase what has been done wrong"
The choking stops and I am left standing
While the fool's hold on me is disbanding
I move forward and punch him on his face
I tell him I am through with this rat race
as I walk away and step out into the world so big
and leave behind the simple-minded heartless pig
Goodbye I say but I never turn back
I'm afraid, but I know I am on the right track
and Although I know I will still be hurt
Eventually I will learn how to revert
