The Game

At the perfect stage of my youthful life
I was asked to give in
All I was for what I wasn't part of
Never rejected
Nor ever embraced it

Only did what I was expected to do
It was what I thought was right to do
Never had the time for doubt
No questions must follow
No feelings, I am hollow

As if you've forgotten
You keep going down the same rabbit hole
As if it is your very first time

You erased
You defaced
You created all these lies
Around yourself as walls
And around us as bars
As life withdraws

The reasons being
All you're unseeing
For our comfort
For our safety

I have only done what was right!
This was my choice, and I did
Never played the waiting game
I was told not to play the game

As if you've forgotten
You keep going down the same rabbit hole
As if it is your very first time

You erased
You defaced
You created all these lies
Around yourself as walls
And around us as bars
As life withdraws

You smash your hammer
Thinking you are just
But is it just when I die by another hand?

By your system, either way I fail
Before I even plead for my innocence
As if this war was mine
It was my choice
I choked my voice
For what I felt, something vague, an emptiness

Death and murder took over my world

I saw blood
I forgot rest
I saw death
And I forgot my nest
