where i wither away

Finally.

A chance to show my worth

My feeling, my passion

Appearing on earth.

Finally.

I can step onto a grand, little stage

Where my audience sips coffee

And I'm the one getting paid.

Finally.

Someone enjoyed my voice

He actually heard me

Instead of just noise.

Finally.

I was invited to where the talented go

He would show me the ropes

He thought I was the star of the show.

Finally.

He said that I didn't have to pay

I could just pack up my bags

And live my dreams in L.A.

Finally.

We arrived at his house

He pushed me inside

There was no getting out.

Finally.

The lights suddenly turned on

Several women inside

Singing time-wasting songs.

They were stuck in the dark

Their faces tear-stained

And they said to me

"You should have ran away"

"He's left us for ages."

"He will leave you for dead!"

"You let his sweet promises

Get to your head!"

"What will he do?" I ask.

"Nothing," they say,

"We are his little experiment!"

For how long it takes

humans to

wither away.

So trapped in a room

I stay

So trapped in a room

I wither away.

Finally.

My life was coming together.

But instead,

I have to live with my mistake

Forever.
