Broken, Monster, Brother
I lay here alone and silent while they whisper above my head
Asking if they went too far in trying to make me what I'm not
Wonder if in seeking both my screams and my confessions
They stole the whatever voice and mind I might have
My enemies call me Broken.
I stand here alone and silent while they whisper behind my back
Asking themselves how long their fragile control will last
Wonder if there is anything they can do to stop me
If I ever break the chains they so carefully forged.
My acquaintances call me Monster.
I sit here alone and silent while they talk all around me.
Asking me if I will tell them the times when I was Broken
Wondering about the Monster I restrain in my heart
And understanding when I plead for them not to ask.
My friends call me Brother.
