Obey
I chide my tongue
I hold my thoughts
Lost in silence
A child of fear
My words are not my own
My actions controlled
No change no courage
No fire in my soul
Leather to my hands
Wood to my face
Punishment for each and every disgrace
Hold tight to myself
Keep thoughts well hidden
For once in the light
A child i am left only to one word
Obey
