Spun

Who is the boss of me

Does anyone know

I wish he would take charge

I wish he would show

I walk around

Feeling empty and lost

Caught in the web

Of which he has made

No one to catch me

Or see when I fade

This world is hard

It is beating me up

Like I am the fluid

And it is my cup

I have no real options

I have no real choice

Because I am silenced

I can't use my voice

If I said stop

Then would things change

Would I survive

Outside this range

If I could beat it

Just this one time I would

Then you might see

That I actually could

I walk in the clouds, I sing in the dust

I relate well to your work, I dealt with many of the same issues when I was younger, however things have very much changed, and they will for you also. You have talent and I enjoy your works. Keep it up! I look forward to reading more of them

Really liked this line in particular:

"This world is hard
It is beating me up
Like I am the fluid
And it is my cup"

Such a unique and interesting way to describe what you are feeling.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
