The Deceived Child Stood Still And Cried

Please tell me there's another way

Because I'm starting to fade away

Do I really have no choice?

I feel like I'm being forced

To live in a world I disapprove

 

At eighteen

I was supposed to get ready for twenty

But at twenty 

I feel like I've been tremendously deceived

Hold my hands and tell me I'm still alive

I can no longer differentiate between one and another

And if love is what I need

Please find me a lover

I've grown unmovable

And it's all too readable

I expected more adventure

Yet I'm to play nothing but a pawn
Is it my fault?
But why should I live for you?
If all you do
Is all disapprove

Why do I have no choice?

Can't I go back?

Can I not go the other way?

The path you've hidden from...
Oh sweet paranoia you say

Should I just stay here?

Waiting 

For something to push me forward

Along this road you present me with

Are you not lying?

Is this really the only way?

Are you really not hiding something from me?

I'm starting to doubt you

I'm starting to doubt myself

This is a beautiful poem, there's so much emotion in it. It's obvious that you meant every word of it and thought well of the words you would use. Amazing peom :)
