Captive Life
I live my life inside a jail,
with walls unseen by all.
Receding steps to bottomless depths,
forever I feel I fall.
The fall don't hurt its when you land,
I've been told by many.
But forever to fall is forever to fear,
with no end in sight not any.
The truth I live is hard to take,
if only you knew you'd agree,
I'm in disguise I hide myself,
myself must hide from me.
The truth however does not change,
it cant be controlled like fate.
But it can be denied to find comfort in lies,
for a fate that's more pleasant to take.
