The Illusion of Me
I am the image you hold within..
But not necessarily what you see.
You can paint a canvas to any vision..
But in reality not the true inner me.
What you think you know is an illusion..
Imagination has made up your mind.
You've been blinded by the lies of others..
Truth be known I'm one of a kind.
I will never let my trueself escape me..
I've done that too many times before.
Only to be left heart broken and empty..
I wont allow myself the pain anymore.
So now I live in my secluded fortress..
It protects me from being your prey.
I am guarded from showing emotions..
My innocence was beaten away..
I will no longer be marked a victim..
I will never wear the shame.
You no longer exist in reality..
My memory forever erases your name.
