Captive Human

With all my might I fight
I know there is no hope
Their shackles are tight
I’m their form of entertainment

I’ve never given up
That’s why my ankles are bloodied
And they cackle
Giving me slack to run
To hope, to dream of sweet fresh air

But each time I see the blue of sky
I stumble, fall for my leash is up
And I am theirs
Till the bitter end
They feed off my feist
Knowing that I will lose

I should give up
Stop the pain of my existence
Wouldn’t that be easier?
Yet run I continue
Each night trying to cry out
When I know that I’m not heard

They stop my words
I only hear them in my head
Like a silly naive human
Unable to communicate
But I can’t give up
I struggle as the blood pours onto the floor
And my silent screams die in the night

Don’t you hear them?
Feel my whimpers?
See the blood trailing behind my false smile
As I crawl to your feet
Save me!
Help me! I’m dying.
Wrap your arms arou…

See?
Silly, naïve human I am
You can’t hear me
Or see the marks of my life
They are too good
They hide the evidence well

For I am theirs, in my soul
I have no escape
I’m just a captive
