Damocles In Me

the sword looms overhead
here i sit rags to riches
but any moment to be dead 
when it falls hope only it misses

I rule my feelings
with an iron-clad cage
but from the sword on the ceiling 
i feel the immiting rage

my locked heart bends
i am a stranger
to my own friends
that is the danger

of the damocles in me
visable for all to see
