Count Down

You see the black
You see the chains
Behind my back
I can hear the names.
You see my face
You hear voice
This is how I am these days
Not much choice
So the ghost of truth
Swept quickly out the door
Because who cares what anyone has to lose
Anymore
I lose myself
My pride dignity and shame
All in the turmoil
And your fixation with your game
Cat and mouse
Lost in a maze
No peace at my house
And so I count the days
10 since you dared to speak
9 since I first heard
8 how much havoc can you wreak
7 one week. How much more can I take?
6 Can I fit in a locker
5 I'll fight, for my sake
4 Please, can't anyone stop her?
3 My secrets are read
2 I belong to me, to you, to no one
1 til I am dead
Your game is finished
You have won
So slowly I reach out
But I trust no one
On being accused you merely pout
That's made up! I would never!
Neer what? Destroy me from inside in?
No, who would ever
And you point 'Do you know how long it's been'
Since she smiled
All she does is cry
This report should not be filed
Because obviously it's a lie.
1 2 3 What's become of me
I look at you
I see nothing
Just staring through.
4 5 6 Evil grin across your lips
What means what
Am I me or am I you
7 8 9 could this all turn out fine
Maybe someone finally stopped her
Slowly opens her malicious grin
"Can you fit in a locker?"
