Prisoner

I feel like a prisoner 

Trapped in my own mind 

Banging on the door 

Yelling and crying

\"please, let me out!!\" 

\"I\'ll do anything.\" 

 

So I behave

I listen to my jailors commands 

Keep my head down, avoid others 

Scrub the floors until the paint peels 

To reveal a blank canvas underneath 

I lay in bed for days as to not be a bother. 

 

But my jailor is never satisfied 

They always find a way to make me suffer

Yet they\'re my only company 

As I isolate myself further 

And my once colorful walls are now devoid of color 

My jailor becomes the only friend I have left.

 

Slowly my dreams of the outside world disappear 

I accept that this prison is where I belong

Because my jailor tells me it\'s better in here

No one can harm me as long as they\'re by my side  

I am a prisoner of my own mind

And I am never getting out.
