Deep dark depression

Love in the light

My future looked bright

Everyone may be out to get me

I can never trust my sanity

Will I ever know my family?

I’m alone, I’ve been cold

I’m five years old

I was marked, I was sold

I was pressed into a mold

I was beaten and broken

I was always soft spoken

In the end I was heartbroken

I was gagged and bound

Locked in a cage of sound

Trapped beneath the very ground

Lost memories, never found

Bindings held me in captivity

I was relieved of all my dignity

I’m so sick of all this bigotry

Needles pierce my tender flesh

I may never taste success

The father would oppress

My mother would suppress

The pain I felt was constant

Life was always my conflict

My future I cannot predict

Drugs cloud the vision

My past was always hidden

Locked in maternal prison

I need a religion

Maternity, the decay arouses me

I will never be carefree

I’m trapped in this, horrid reality

Powerless, was I always lost

Will I ever know the cost?

When my heart covers in frost

Trapped in sadness, power to the chaos

Jar inside us, filled with darkness

Leaking into my frozen carcass

Mother said that it was harmless

Demons claw, and bend my spine

Alone and cold, I’ll lose my mind

Everyone I knew turned a blind eye

I have never seen the sky

Pain in the end

Were they ever my friends?
