Chained in this existence, it must be...
Somber in silence, you don't care to see.
Behind closed doors with a veiled mask...
Clinging to hope, the heart will not last.
Undecided indifference, a quivering voice.
Seeking an escape is a question of choice.
Tuned out reality, lingers with each cry.
Finding an escape, between where and why.
Heartbroken and consumed with despair...
Wondering if your heart could possibly care.
Your words and actions prove you are a belittler.
Memories of the present will haunt me in the future.
Why are you so cruel and mean?
Why do you yell and create a scene?
In front of others you belittle me.
I have feelings to, why can't you see?
You may have been right in what you said.
Couldn't you have just told me privately instead?
If you have problem why not just sit and talk?
Why do we have to argue into a gridlock?
You left a scar on my wounded emotions.
Why, use unkind words when you take a notion?
Everyone else may kiss-up under your spell.
I, will not sucumb to your egotistic degrading hell.
If this keeps on day after working day..
I will finally tell you, what I really want to say.
I may be fired; no more being nice and polite.
If I do, at least...it will not be without a fight.
