Want- it’s what did this to me.
Its what got me where I am
Today,
It’s what changed my life,
And I’ll never be able to get it back.
Want- it’s what changed EVERYTHING in such little time

IT changed her
destroyed her

She’s not like them-everybody else
She didn’t belong
Not where she was,

That’s all she wanted though, was to belong.
So when they invited her to a party,
Why would she say
NO?

She didn’t think
It would change her life as much as it did,
If she did- she wouldn’t have done it.

...That’s what she tells herself anyway

Her parents found out-what she was doing
And,
They locked her up.
put her in a CRAZY house!

I’ll never do it again! she yelled to them,
as they walked away.
I promise! Just get me out of here. I don’t belong here!
She yelled and yelled, begging for them to listen
They didn’t.
They just kept walking-not a single glance back

She could feel her mind slipping
Away from her
As each day when by- the more time she spent there
She had to get out,

I wont do it again!

Nobody believed her
they thought she was lying,
she watched the words fell through their ears

She could see the-

In one ear and out the other

Locked Up, with no way out
Locked Up, with no one to talk to
Locked Up, with no one who believes,
Her.

Her eyes moved back and forth
Circling all around the hall,
Looking for

a way out,
Looking for

someone to believe her,
believe that

she wasn’t lying.
Looking for.
anything.

There was a lady
Holding her hands behind her back,
They lady didn’t think it was safe,
If her hands were free.

“Who knows what she would do”
the lady told the other workers-not even bothering with
whispers.
