Sentenced

Involuntarily I exist in this institution Experiencing the pain that’s dedicated to my life I plead the fifth to the constitution It’s strange, I never lived once, but somehow I’ve died thrice A sacrificial lamb lay to pasture Covered in hatred, drenched in loathing, exposed and despised Just some of the stones I gathered Along with scorned words, disrespect and lies Uncomfortably I lay in my tomb Placed here because I’ve tried to love you I’m moving over and making room Because, I too sentence you to this doom

Very dark and disturbing subject. Live in the brightness of your talent, Sherry. One doesn't have to search for love, it will find you in it's own sweet time.
