confused

blinded, but i could see
Deafened, yet i could hear
Silenced, but i could talk
Controlled, never free

It was a dark, yet enlightening time
Constricting, yet it opened my mind
Destructive, but built a better person
Memorable, I never forget a crime

Happy, to be upset
Lying, but saying what i meant
Dying, to live a little more
A crooked shape, the love was bent

I was singing, without real words
calling out, without being heard
dreaming, without meaning
presenting facts, to the world

so alone, but in a crowd
so conflicted, but sure and proud
so bewitched, but positive it was my choice
so dependent, i could have bowed

Believing all your lies
huddled by your side
stuck with wounded pride
remember why i cried
