As Long as I can

I have been told, to do this and that.

I listened but I brushed it off.

They want me to think inside the box,

I said "even the tiger in the Bronx zoo wouldn't".

 

I have been plated with,

I have been beaten and bitten.

But that was nothing out of ordinary.

To me nothing was extream because I was too used to it.

 

They said I changed a lpt,

I don't think I have.

In my head I thought,

'maybe if you haden't forced me to do something I am not fond,

to be someone I am not, then I wouldn't have changed'.

 

They talk and talk and I ignore all of it.

They changed my life,

they took away my happiness,

but as long as I can think and Ignore, they can't kill me then.
