Driven out
Walking through the halls
she plays her own song
to the beat of the way she feels
alone in the cold
walking alone
the life she lives is too real
numb to the pain
going insane
she lives to shut it all out
but reality finds a way in
grows in her skin
and turns her inside out
voices surround her
and begin to drown her
with the words she hates to hear
diminished self worth as the days disperse
the words filling up her head
they all want her dead
and their wish is her command
she tries to speak
the words remain trapped
while she drowns in her own despair
years from now she'll be able to look down
and see how they're doing from there
she plays her own song
to the beat of the way she feels
alone in the cold
walking alone
the life she lives is too real
numb to the pain
going insane
she lives to shut it all out
but reality finds a way in
grows in her skin
and turns her inside out
voices surround her
and begin to drown her
with the words she hates to hear
diminished self worth as the days disperse
the words filling up her head
they all want her dead
and their wish is her command
she tries to speak
the words remain trapped
while she drowns in her own despair
years from now she'll be able to look down
and see how they're doing from there

Their wish is my command
How bout "their wish is my command...NOT
you bunch of zombies"

They all want her dead
their wish is my command...
I read more closely,
this person walks to the beat of her own drum
its lonely for sure.
Then, as much as she tries to
the others seep into her,
even though they want her dead,
she carries out their smallest whim,
even though it does great harm to herself,
just so that whatever they even wish for is her command.
So how does one fight that kind of deep infection
how to drive out the discord?
can the victim just turn on those people and say,
" your wish is NOT my command"
can people who for one reasons or another,
have found the key to your heart, and are 'running'
things, can I rebel and call them "zombies"
because by golly, whether they know it or not,
they are deadly
