I am the tiny dancer you found

I do nothing but spin around

To the familiar chime of the wretched bell

As the dotted jewels gleam in this cell

I yearn and strain to utter a word

But to people around me, it isn’t heard

They only care to see me bend and break

To be tortured with agony all for their sake

Forever and eternity I will be locked

In this small gilded gold prison, a music box

Cursed to never speak my mind

For eternity in this cage I’m confined

Never to lead, only made to obey

Eternally everyone’s immortal slave

Always will I to be cursed with torment

As people are fulfilled, I will forever lament

When I strain so hard to just speak up

Without hesitation, you slam my lid shut

If only you would just hand me the silver key

I could finally open the lid and at last, break free

I am the tiny dancer you found

Pleading you, begging you, to let me out.


I'm pretty sure that a lot of you feel the same way, that you can't speak your mind and let others control you even though you don't want it...admit it. It's inevitable.
