Fade Away

I feel my body creep through the cement cracks
Emotions are overwhelming; I’m paralyzed with fear
The faces blurred, screaming hate in my ear
While the city’s skyscrapers fall all around me

The fire that ensues around me has not exhausted
Licking every inch of my body till I am charred
Made out to be a creep, a puppet in their freak show
Only called upon to entertain their wicked desires  

There is no escape from the fear of judgment
What crime could I have committed if not to myself?
I hate being alive and living a constant lie
That I would actually be apart of this sick game

Constantly hiding in the shadows of the city
Blending in to the buildings just to get away
Like a refugee, persecuted for my differences
I can only find safe haven in this pen and book

Praying for the day I finally just fade away
