Are You Not Entertained?!

Mon, 08/31/2015 - 17:41 -- Terra17

Are you not entertained as I pace around in your parade

Follow your rules and be stung by your commands

Be swept up in fear by your threats and arrogance

Not understand why you treat me if I do not feel pain

Do you not see the tears I try to hold back so you may not see I'm tired

Can you not see me break piece by piece

Cause of the pressure you put on me

Can you not see that I have reached my limit...

but you still carry on to try to break me so I may be controlled,

put in my place,and be lined up like the rest

When does it end, where I and my mind can breath freely

so I may be open to many things that have been taken away from me

My dignitgy, My right, My mind, My life

Will I retain this thing that "you" have so called so said "they don't matter"

Because "you" have taken over my life...

But no more will I let you take the little freedom I have left

I shall break these chains you put on me 

And break away from this world "you" so called created for me.
