I burden myself with the memories
that flood my mind once again
It steals my peace and strangles my joy
The darkness becomes my friend

I hide in it like a child at play
Where no one else could seek
I let myself be consumed by it
I resign to being a freak

I was different than everyone else
I knew that right from the start
No one would let me forget
That I began life with a broken heart

I was alone from the time I was young
and nothing has ever changed
there could be an ocean of people around me
- I still would feel alone in my cage

I know where the key is
for the lock on the door
It seems that it's just out of reach
So, I settle in to suffer more
