ENTANGLED
235 Words
Entangled by my own rope, I struggled to set myself free
From my deadly addiction, but like a sheep tied to a pole
Am only allowed to hobble around my mighty master,
If I dare disobey him, ways to goad me he knows
Enslaved to what I detest, my mystery is my master's joy
He smiles when I cry, my pain brings him joy
Yeah, my work is to serve all his selfish deeds
As a slave my needs matters not,
My master first, I should always put
Escaping once I tried, missing death by the skin of my teeth
"Last warning! He said, "Death will be too easy"
Lest I tried to escape again, a fate worse than death awaits
And deep into my flesh, his claws and fangs he dug
To ensure I knew he meant business
Seems likes I went into oblivion, remembered not by anyone
Just like the cries of the innocent into clogged ears, they fell
My voice became soar, from willing and screaming for help
Who will come to the rescue from this retched addict?
What keeps me going, the reason why I don't give up,
Is that my help will come, detoxifying my system of him I shall,
My master farewell I'll bid, backward again I shall never look
Like a bird I shall spread my wings
Away from the cage I shall fly away
