12-Silence of the Sheep

67 4 14
                                    

I hide among the sheep,

sleep alone in the dark,

my silence I keep,

as I hide from the dogs bark.

Run through the forest,

hide in the water,

"I'll just stay and forget..."

I thought in the slaughter.

Freed only to run away,

freed to torture another day.

Run from the dogs,

run towards the hogs,

to live in oppression,

lost in the depression.

Forget who I am,

it doesn't matter,

I don't stand,

I watch my life shatter.

Here comes the knife, 

here comes the blow,

there goes the life I used to know.

Stab me please, 

really quick,

leave me be, 

forever sick.

But why?

Why bow to the demon?

Why let the fleas in?

Why have an empty cup?

Why give up?

Who held you in?

Myself.

Why stop before you begin?

It might hurt my health.

Take risks, enjoy life!

Hey, give me that knife.

Why should I?

Drop the curse,

protect the lost,

for a bit, you'll feel worse,

but it's worth the cost.

Cure the silence,

warm the cold,

lets be happy

before we get to old.

But I can't,

I'm in too deep!

Get up and walk around,

don't go to sleep.

No, I can't change.

Change your life, enjoy the strange.

No, I can't... Hey this is fun!

Let happiness and your soul be one.

I will survive,

I have fought off the knives!

I am strong,

my life is long.

I marvel at my scars,

as I fly though the stars,

I quit the lie,

and watch my silence die.

Thank you all,

I no longer cry.

Lovinglifefun, I would've dedicated you, but I have dedicated you so many times. I figure I should dedicate AlyssaNilsson.
