Hanging by a Thread

My life is hanging by a thread

One wrong move and I’ll be dead

It’s held in the hands of those I love

The people that I’ll never be free of

Always watching what I do and say

making me hide my true self away

I have to be the ‘perfect daughter’

Pretend I’m strong, don’t let me falter.

for if I ever do then I will surely die

a death so quick I won’t get to say bye

If I so much as cry a single tear

they’ll come and instill in me fear

or if I even whisper any rude words

they’ll silence me, leave me unheard.

If I ever dare come close to the line

they’ll snuff out this light of mine

So I’ve watched what I’ve done and said

After all my life is hanging by just a thread
