Poetry: Symmetry and Reflections

Your Own World

You try to fill me with your lies,

I see past your words, that disguise

Your fantasies hide the pain

thoughts numb like Novocaine

your crystal clear words I see through like glass so

You want to shift the blame

to cover up your shame

you live in your own world

but I won't play that game

you can twist it how you want

but you won't twist me up

no, you won't leave me stained

shame, tries to punish me, beat me down

but I'll keep on fighting, I won't drown

lies that we tell ourselves, to hide our hearts intent

why must be there be a scapegoat?

there's not always someone to bring up to the stand

nothing left to give, i just want to live

free from your grip, free from my past

don't know what to choose, nothing left to lose

finally free, was too blind to see

I thought I had no choice

now I've finally found my voice
