Laced With Fears
I heard a loud sound
Heavily the heart pound
The sound wasn't cacophonic
It was strange
She must be in a rage
Although she was out of range
I could feel her pain
It felt that she was being tamed
But that wasn't the case
It was a sound that begged for help
A help that wasn't forth coming
If only she could vanish
Her image was already tarnished
Because her worth had diminished
This was meant to be relished
Only If it was done the right way
She was sorrounded
not by people
But with the red-like liquid
Who will look at me?
Who will respect me?
She cried out!
I am no more pristine
I am rather disgusting
I am empty
I am rusting
But this time, not by water nor by air nor acid
But by man
Man?
I mean men
They were mean
But they were team
They were teem
They had no respect for me
Even though I am thin
They dragged me on the floor
Not by my hands or legs
But by my hair
I could see right through them that it was their flair
In turns they came
To display their shame
They were determined
To reduce my fame
And make nothing out of my name
With the turn of the 9th 'animal'
I was life less
Not that I was dead
But my life made no sense
All I wanted was a license
To end my life
I screamed with all my strength
Although it came from my depth
It was inaudible
Lord set my being on fire
this was not state of mind
the singer was when
She screamed
Oh oh Lord set my heart on fire for you
I just want to die
