I'm terrified.

When I hear him coming down the hall,

his deep voice filling the walls,

I cannot escape.

Like a toy,

he plays with me,

that's how it always will be,

I cannot escape.

Locked away,

I made no sound,

should he hear it above ground...

I cannot escape.

A lullaby,

I wish to be,

comforting and free,

I cannot escape.

Dangerous,

mirrors can be,

a man made monstrosity,

I cannot escape.

Friends,

leaves me abandoned,

our relationship repremanded,

I cannot escape.

Depression,

a blackness in my soul,

swallowing me whole,

I cannot escape.

Death,

The little that was me,

no longer is to be,

I. Have. Escaped.
