Manipulation manifestation
I was born to be manipulated
Alone and unstimulated
Dragged through the early years kicking and screaming
Always knowing someone was scheming
Leading to a point where i got abused or abandoned
Never being quite able to understand
Play a mental game and I don’t know how to play
Can’t ever make a mistake or disobey
Life now it’s easy to fool me
Easier just to agree
Easy to blame for your mistake
A reaction easy to fake
Easy to convince and coerce
As I am nothing in the universe
I’m always looking for hidden meanings
Not trusting people on first meetings
Testing people’s true intentions
Searching for all dimensions
Looking for the truth on what you say
Being prepared to walk away
Not trusting people’s words
I’m the one that observes
Words are cheap
Could come across as the creep
Fifteen years no one to trust
Makes me think your sus
Always suspicious, Always paranoid
Cold and annoyed
I flinch at the thought of aggression
Still feeling the same oppression
Childhood still damages everyday
I fight my mind just to stay
Still hide from people of authority
Judged by their seniority
Still get nervous around other people
The small boy inside causing such upheaval
Always wanting to please instead of always being truthful
One day soon I maybe useful
