Prisoner

1 – 11 – 12

A prisoner.

A prisoner in my OWN home

Am I a villain?

One of those creepers from super-hero movies?
Not sure on that one.

But…

Who are my captors?

They are those who should be my friends.

My ex-companions

My used-to-be allies

What the hell is up with that?
While yet here I sit…

Here in my ‘cell’

A place they have furnished (nicely, I may add).

With words of hate towards them,

And strands of blessings in between

I want to destroy it all.

Everything they’ve granted me with,

If only to say:

“I never got anything from you.”

“You’ve never given me ANYTHING.”

They’ve given me so much,

Yet, I hate every bit of it.

Only so that I can hate them, too.

They scream at me for little things,

Meaningless words,

But hurtful words, nonetheless.

They compare me to past criminals –

And say that I should aspire to be someone else.

AND THEN –

When I screw everything over –

Its back to square one.

I’m just like any other damn criminal –

Who just HAD to have their way.

Maybe I like it that way.
