Fogged up like the car window
Clogged up and I didn't know
Facing my higher fears
Shrinking down in my comfort zone

Lost and unimproved
Still the same and disused
Perpetually exhausted
When the productivity ended

Like a goldfish in a fishbowl
Like a bird in a cage
She's a prisoner with no goal
She's wise beyond her age

Confused and dazed, left alone
Watch her as she disengages
Disconnected and unknown
Count down all the days

Nobody identifies
They cannot keep up with the lies
It's not a big deal
But still she's in her bastille

She can't trust her mother
And she can't trust her peers
She's not in her mind
And she's running on the frontiers

Uncomfortable in safe spaces
Pushing through life's races
Nothing feels right
She's left in the twilight
