I feel so trapped
So confined
There's nowhere for me to run to
And nothing to run from
Even still, I wish to hide
From the thoughts that haunt me
Late at night
The words people say
As I live through the day
Cut into my heart
And rip me apart
But, of course, that's what they desire
As they extinguish every bit of fire
The fire that once burned within me
They assassinate my spirit
And terminate my soul
Because of their cruel ways
I may never again be whole
I tried to fight back
Unfortunately, it's strength that I lack
They continue to beat me
Use and mistreat me
No longer obtaining confidence
And no longer owning strength
I crumple at the feet of my tormentors
Who forced me to my knees
I pray one final prayer
And let myself fall lifeless
Into the eternal pit of despair
