You shot my trust
Five mistakes battered with fists
With many more
Pouring over the roof
Of the cage
The leash hanging from the nail
Beaten in with my blood
Into a wall of shame
You let my identity fall
With my body to the floor
Throwing me around
Like a plush
Woven with my childhood
Something you torture me with
When you let me know
Time has given you power
Freedom tied with control
A rope of false love
To pull any part of me
That remembers who I used to be
Out of my head
Leaving me lifeless
Staring off into a void
I wish I could climb into
There is something worse than death
It's a charred, tortured life
You tease me with freedom
By leaving out the front door
But I don't want to go out there
I don't want to be
anywhere.
