Waiting.
That's what I've been doing.
Waiting.
Until someone notices.
Waiting.
While everyone's lives are renewing.
Waiting.
While everyone focusses
On something I can't see.

Stuck.
I keep listening.
Stuck.
With muffled sounds outside.
Stuck.
Somewhere so imprisoning.
Stuck.
Yet with no place to hide
And no place to be.

Chains.
Hold my heart tightly in my chest.
Chains.
Isolate me from people who care.
Chains.
Keep me from knowing what's best.
Chains.
Restrain me from seeing who's there.
From being with those who could help me.

My mind.
Creates these chains.
My mind.
Shows me how I can get hurt.
My mind.
Is tainted with lies making stains.
My mind.
Let's me view people at their worst.
And watch this haze blindly.
