Regrets

It all comes back to me when I shut my eyes
That my life is messed up and is all a lie
Iv cried and screamed and called for help
But nobody is hear they would never hear my yelp
It’s all to much and I can’t carry this weight
I was stupid to fall and bite the bait
How vulnerable I must’ve been to fall in a web
I wasn’t watching when everyone else fled
Now I’m a puppet tied tight to a string
I’m alone in a world where I can’t hear a single bird sing
The clock no longer ticks for time
As the clock has stopped ticking for a life, which is mine
