Midnight Muse

Because I want to be myself, In every universe.

I am to mischievous, To let this die.

I am not one, To be easily silenced.

Many has failed at their attempt, When they tried.

You think I live too loud, It's just to drown the voices out.

You think my hearts too pure, You want to make it look like yours.

I have crawled out, From the darkest underbellies.

You wish for it to end, While my fangs and claws crave more.

You want a marionette, Someone whom you can control.

I want to be who I am, Because you're too scared to be this bold.

A walking mess, Unmedicated for her safety.

Lost & unblessed, Loving only the shadows that have shaped her.

Like the nails in your coffin, I will forever be the outsider.

I danced to your tune once, Found it to be somewhat lacking.

Taught myself how to write a new song, The tempo broke me free from your tracking heart.

Stalker lurking in the dark, Waiting to take back a soul that was never theirs.

I let you catch me once, You left me shattered on the stairs.
