Sometimes I'm able to break through the walls of my mind
And my fingers can just phase through the barriers
And for a fraction of a second
I am real again.
But then that moment is over,
And I am back to being caged inside my mind;
A prison I will never be able to escape.

I am trapped inside a world I don't understand
Forced to see through glazed eyes,
Forced to hear through muffled ears,
Forced to walk in a body that isn't my own.

My thoughts are no longer private.
Maybe they were once upon a time,
But that was long ago
And now I can't think freely
Because everyone can hear me.

I'm inside of a prison made of glass
Being watched
And mocked
At all times.
(I can't stop them.)

I'm a lone star in a never ending galaxy of stars.
My existence has no meaning
And meaning has no existence.

My senses have been stripped from me.
I live in a blur.
I'm confined.
I live in a blur.
I'm stuck in a cage.
I live in a blur.
I'm trapped inside a world I don't understand.

And no one is watching me,
But I'm still in a prison made of glass.
And no one can hear my thoughts,
But I still restrict them.
And I am a real human being,
But I still can't feel as so.
(I can't make it stop.)

(Please make it stop.)
