"Society" (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 20

Waiting to hear the words that I want

Is almost like slowly sticking glass in your eyes

With every twitch and scream

I wait for the pain to subside 

But if you speak what I can't bear to hear

I wouldn't know where to take it from there

Because I waited for this too long

I don't know how much longer I can be strong

All good things come to those who wait

But I waited too long for you to determine my fate

I'm just a piece in your game board

What can I really do?

I want to speak out in fury

But I know that won't get the best of you

Because you control this cruel world

And I'm only just a girl

I have a dream and a pen

And I intend to use it

I have a voice and a sound

But I'm not sure if I'm fit

Because there are all these rules I'm supposed to follow

But in truth, I feel like I'm being swallowed

Being digested in a world of lies

Stuck in a place where everyone wears buttons for eyes

If I'm like me I can't make it

I wasn't made with the right ingredients

My formula didn't contain the right contents

I look how I look

I am what I am

But I'm doing the best that I can

All of this thinking gives me anxiety

Living in a place we call a "society"
