Break for the sake of breaking

August 30, 2013

 

Alone, isolated days 

Blocked them out, a subconscious maze 

My mind deep under the sea 

They were in the shadows, hidden 

Why can't I speak, its forbidden 

Afraid of what was going to be 

You were out of view, not an option 

At a loss of words, placed into a coffin 

Take it out on others, because you never earned a degree 

My hands shaking from the pain 

My words like razor blade rain 

head phones blasting, read my tee 

I broke away from all I ever known 

I had your opinions, its all I was shown 

The difference between a wasp and a honey bee 

In reality thy were good people honest and true 

Why couldn’t I see it, they were see-through 

How could you do this to me 

My own family and you just took them away 

Gave them a bad name 

Why would you want to ruin it for me 

For years I thought I was an orphan 

So you could get high, raise your endorphins 

You made me believe 

It was my opinion not yours 

Sending me on your philological tours   

Why should I pay for your fees 

What did I do to deserve that 

Your revenge on others is using me as a door mat 

For your wrong doing you punished me 

I didn’t hurt you, you hurt you 

Cut straight through my nerves too 

Fallen branches of my family tree 

Are you happy with what you created 

You ripped me off, under rated 

In reality you were only hurting me 

It makes me think about what I could have had 

If things had worked out, if no one got mad 

I want you to hurt like me 

We are all minor, we mimic sadness 

Decisions are major, lack of happiness
