First

I have been called,

I have been named,

I have been labelled.

But all these

Can't tag the person

That lives within me.

I am a person,

Who can't be seen

From near or afar.

To grasp the true, painful soul

That lives in this vessel

You must find a key.

The true person

Is locked in many cages

From pain to sorrow,

From chains to scars.

Only a few who unlock it

Have left from the sight

No one ever stick around

And no one will.....

But I don't care.

I'm used to being alone,

Isolated and forgotten.

And without a pack

To watch my back

To feel love or care.

Just all alone.

With only my feeling,

Surrounded by a cold cruel world.

So that's why

I have so many masks.

Pieces of me lives in each mask.

But I can't let any more pain

Into my broken lonely soul.

No more blood trickling down the flesh.

No more tears flowing out.

No more puddles of blood.

No more pain to live with.

Since no one

Can handle the trapped soul

Once it's released from the cage.

So that's where it will lay

In a cold shackled cage,

As long as I'm still breathing.
