Prisoner to Myself

By rage_angel

I'm a prisoner to myself
I'm locked away
Never a chance to escape
Keep me caged
I fight the demons
All alone
The demon is my clone
Or is it the real me
I don't know what I see
Is it real
Is it true
Is that me
Or is that you
That I've pushed
To the back of my mind
The one I've left behind
I hate what I see
I hate all the hypocrisy
This world brings
Is it better
Is it safer
To be a prisoner to myself
Kept locked away
Caged like an animal
Fuck you
Fuck me
Because that's who I see
