it started so sweet,
i actually thought you cared about me.
but now i see these were things you wanted me to believe
we were living in a fantasy, a world of make believe
full of smiles and laughter,
Am I Okay
September 14, 2018 ~ Friday
Kicking, screaming out for help
Sneakers, gloves, here they come
Running through the halls
I was cut off from you,
Though this was nothing new.
I knew it was bound to happen one day
For I was just a pawn to play.
You used me for your own pleasure,
And I thought you prized me as your treasure.
Day one. The Year is born, boom!
Fireworks gleam above shaded cities today.
Years back, fifteen, to be exact. Beat.
Mother's love? Pah! 2016 sends her away.
Feel unhindered. Free, they say.
My senses are sharpened
The will has toughened
Into a planet I go
With a shadow of a dream
The darkness surrounds me
In destiny I stand
Come here little man
The slaughter comes fast
A pawn in your game
So selfish
So greedy for fame
………………………………
Eager to be loved
Wanted to be feared
