My Own Prison
Wondering how I got here? Am I losing my mind?
Just how long have I been here and what's this all about?
"Can anybody hear me?" Please, let me out!"
I sat here waiting with no reply. Nervous and scared, I begin to shout,
"Won't somebody, anybody, please let me out?!?"
"Shhhh, now child, clam down and don't shout."
I hear a voice in the darkness.
"Your much to dumb and weak for me to let you out
So, sit back down and shut your mouth,
I'm the only one who decides when you get out."
So, I sat down and started to think,"How did this happen?
Did I black out? Did I fall sleep?
I begin to shout.
"There must be some kind of mistake! I really don't belong here. Please let me out!"
"Ha Ha! There's no mistake you're the one who decided this fate.
Do yourself a favor and give up the fight.
From now on I'll decide what's wrong and what's right."
"I'm the boss now and what I say goes!
So, sit back, relax and enjoy the show
I'm the only one who decides when you can go."
I'm sitting here all alone in the darkness of my mind.
Wondering how I got here? Am I losing my mind?
How long have I been here? And why can't I get out?
"Can anybody hear me? Please somebody, anybody, let me out?!?"
