Owned - Mental Abuse

To portray a different facet That the outside world believe A spectacle a performance A web of lies spun to deceive Chastised another day now This pattern is well worn Tolerance my saviour Of a life threadbare and torn Know not to voice opinion Nor bring attention my way Pass through this life your shadow A different life I often pray Fear, your sharp words heard Restrain me hence my peers So many lost connections Since forgotten over the years Now lonely I am meek Personality no longer exists My being swathed, negated Life fraught with evil twists To keep peace I surrendered To the barrage lasting days My being to you I gifted My anger no longer ablaze Defeated I accept my sentence Realise jealousy be your source Certain you have me shackled With not one thought of divorce If my own voice I could find Open ears only to reason This prison I could escape As you be tried for treason
