My eyes open to a crepuscular vision
Fluorescent lights invade my unsuspecting eyes
It feels as if I haven't moved in weeks
My muscles ache, and they burn
as I try to stand up on my own two feet

Can someone tell me how I got here?
This room is nice and all but I feel like you made a mistake
I had a plan, I had my reasons
But whatever your intentions are
I swear they're not worth it
You must see my life as valuable but you
failed to flip the price tag and see just
how expensive it is to keep all this baggage
This hate and self loathing that's
been tearing at me for all these years

As I stand nice and tall I put on a show of
balance to show this doesn't come so easy anymore
Whoever's watching I hope you're entertained
as I lose my mind in this room
that feels like my personal prison

I feel as though I'm being judged even
though I know there's no eyes on me anymore
Self contained thoughts delay my own thinking
I know I was wrong and regret everything
I need to get to the door and see who can help me
so that I know that I'm not alone
One twist of the knob, to freedom I come
Yet all I hear is a click
And it's locked
