Life's Prisoner
Heart wrecked, mind dead
I think I might’ve misread
Now it left me to bleed,
My feelings mislead,
And I’ve tried to flee
So i can be freed
With a mind like prison,
My life is imprisoned.
My emotions led me astray,
Just to disobey.
My heart sway, but never obey
I feel like a prey, and then I decay.
My heart on display,
So let me pray, but stay away.
Made a trade, and felt betrayed
Mind persuade, and life degrade
Memories replayed,
And my heart afraid.
So I disposed of it,
And I admit, I might’ve slit
Just to quit
And left my life unlit
Because I feel unfit
And I’d admit, I might’ve commit
But no, cause I exist.
