self-enslaved

Self-Enslaved
 
You give yourself away
And wonder why you have no clout
or what your life is all about
this dismal little play
 
You cringe each time they shout
Expect each day to die at last,
when you cry that no one asks,
your worth always at doubt
 
You never learned to mask
to let them think you were their kin
to never ever let them in
or get close to their grasp
 
You let yourself be prey
Amazed at watching spiders spin
you fall into their grotesque grin
a victim of dismay
You gave yourself away
