My Corner

Cowering in this corner has become my world
For in this corner I'm whoever I want to be
I can put on a cape and fly around the world
Or I can solve problems with Holmes like simplicity

I could be Jack and fight off the giant
God how I would've love to be Jack
Not afraid to climb
Not afraid of attack

But still I retreated below the sheets
Listening to the pounding of my heart
For the stomping of approaching feet
Dam they're gonna hear the pounding of my heart

It's nights like this I'm afraid to go to the bathroom
I'm forced to hold it until there's no more room
I know there will be repercussions
For every action there is repercussions

But a small body can only hold so much
and when volume is multiplied by fear of your touch
The bed is wet, the pain is brought on
There's a foot on my throat to drive the message home

The screams in my face, the constant shaking
I don't know if I'll hold up after the beating I've taken
My mind sets adrift to my secret hiding place
Sleeping Beauty is hiding in my secret hiding place

She offers me the secret to the forever sleep
Any time that I have left you're welcome to keep
Jack taught me to climb, laid me on the giants bed
While Sleeping Beauty gave me a pillow to rest my weary head
