Society:


I am a prisoner 
Following someone else’s theory 
Banished into my own mind
Where no one can come near me
Or take me seriously 
Let alone hear me
After seventeen years
Society still strikes fear in me
Not letting me be
To roam free
Trapped behind the screen
Afraid to be seen
I am judged for what I do
I am judged for what I say
At the end of the day
I just want to find my own way
