Wasted.

Locked in a room
With fools and fakes
The badge she hated
Pinned to her chest like ink on her face

The badge she refused
Never could wear
Like giving in to them
Admitting defeat, plunging into despair

The tie around her neck
Forced upon her
Like the hangman's noose
Her ball and chain, calling them Sir.

She could always tell
She was made for more
More than this internet life
Filled with Bitch and Slut, Slag and Whore.

The voice told her
At the back of her head
There's more than this
Out there for you, it always said.

Her genius wasted
Released through tears
Never taking or using
Just giving, forced to by her peers.

Authority, fair enough
But inside that room
Learning the pains of the world
Hearing what she knew, Earths certain doom.

So she decided
She would prove then wrong
She lived her life alone
Never saying what she had known all along

She needed no-one
Yet always pursued
Asked to save
The world she once used

So she sat back and watched
As the world crumbled around
She sat back and watched
Never intervened, never made a sound

She sat back to watch them dying
The ones who silenced her beliefs
Begging her for help she refused
To sit back and watch her world become a blasted heath
