Freedom of the things that shake me I'm still stuck in the things that chain me The hurt that broke and changed me My heart breaks as they stare at me Selfish and selfless Broken and stolen I drown myself out as I scream from the cage I choke it down and add to my rage Help them to save myself from me It's so hard to be what they want me to be I stay in my head controlled by my exoskeleton Encased in a suit of skin that isn't mine It's scars aren't my own The voices whisper my disappearance Cutting me and screaming Hurting me and crushing my being Six feet under or walking the earth What does it matter if it always hurts
