Cheated from Death's Window

                                                        Cheated from Death's Window
                                                                                
                                                                               By;

Cheated from Death's window
By;
ME.
Jessica Singleton

Caged relations press against 
where you split in two.
And I'm walking around inside myself tonight.
They have my hands in theirs
 so I'm better off made of glass.
Tiny people crawl all over this place.
They cannot be seen by people who don't care.
Paid a price that cost me everything.
Stuck on what would fill in all those voids.
Innocence echoes from lost memories.
And tell me now priest -
Tell me I have not fallen like the alter boy beside me
Tell me I'll replace these cracks with wings 
and there will come a day when I rise above this.
Tell me now what you know you cannot.
Tell me now what you do not have the answer to.
Pieced together with other people's intentions.
Shoved down my throat until I lie too.
Medicate my last moment.
Take away the little bit of sanity that I have left.
I'd give up so much to breathe life back into hidden bones.
But I'm not a GOD.
Just a weak excuse of what I once was.
