Of years and lifetimes that I've lost
The greatest pain would be the cost
to give my soul unwillingly
to satiate the enemy

Of concrete walls and linoleum floors
broken tiles and wooden doors
poison ink and venom lies
singing cursed lullabies

broken skin and mottled flesh
matted hair and torn up dress
beating heart beneath this cage
suffering takes centre stage

crooked nails, blinding lights
scanted vision, ****** knife
bitten tongue, bloodshot eyes
struggles to romanticize
