Destroyed

You don't know who i am
i lay before you like a lamb
eyes gazing at an endless sea
most of you have never reached me

you cover me with a mask
it's not my own
you chose the task

dig deep
and discover
what one
has uncovered

a life untended
a soul not mended

eyes which are empty
that you fail to see

with heights that don't measure up
i'm undeserving from your hand that lifts me up

an uncontrolled disease
that clenches at a soul
and waits til your death
takes it's toll

one man is the only to see
what has become of me
one man i've lived to protect
one who doesn't deserve less

he points it out to me
and scolds and grabs hold of me
tally up my sum
destroyed i see what i've become
