The Chronicles of a Tortured Mind 1 of 10

"Who Am I"



Voices in my head the unheard of
 They mimic, they pester, they lie
  All to just torture my mind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

I question I can no longer answer
 They've erased Me, Myself and I
   Changed into the hopeless, heartless, unkind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

Someone now just a faint memory
 Lost somewhere forever but did I die
   Did I turn tail with yellow spine

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

From the torture cocoon to robotic host
 Manipulated, Influenced, Punished but why?
   They see through my eyes while I'm blind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

Definitely not this important of a man
 Given mental beatings if I try...to defy...
   The skin of their evil, zombified defined

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

Twenty-four hours every single day
 Twenty-four hours every single night
   Twenty-four hours of a continual tortured mind

Who Am I...
        Who Am I...

Because I do not even exist anymore
