All But a Lie

The pounding in my head won't fade

As the days go by, my life slowly dies

The pains of the memories haunt me

My skin has become fragile and pale

Sickly sick is what I am

A parasite to this world

My body is deformed and my mind,

Is a jumbled mess

Sleep comes hard as my body can barely hold myself up, the crack of whips awaken me from my dreamless sleep

Laughter all around as the whip comes down, the scars on my back prove what I have had to go through

My bones show through my skin as my breathing becomes harder

Wheezing in and out

Coughing up blood

The torture and pain they put me though

Makes me want to end my existence

The chains and the shackles tighten around my wrists and ankles

As if the torture and the pain wasn't enough, I am watched

Every second of every day, as if I'd tell someone about the torture

But no one would believe me, my life is all but a lie after all
