Corner Me

Corner Me

A Poem by Andrew Watson
"

In a state of confusion, I just wrote. I'm starting to understand what I was talking about a little.

"

New bars constantly rise
The price of getting what I wanted:
A painful overload of the results.
Yet another bar rises and another soul dies
My curse is my ability to leave you dismantled
Strike me down with guilty bolts

Corner me
I can't choose
I'm blind, you see
Or is my role in this act simply to lose?

The bars make me feel lost and depressed
I want less than a cage
I just want to suffocate in the corner
Don't allow your feelings to be suppressed
You can even hurt me if all you have is rage
Feed on my torn innards

Did I finally get what I wished for?
Once I was ugly and wished to be beautiful
I think I might have succeeded
I'm so confused and my brain is sore
Age made me increasingly youthful
Respect for me exceeded the amount that was needed

Corner me
I can't choose
I'm blind, you see
Or is my role in this act simply to lose?

I'm not ready yet
But I know I have no choice
If I don't wash myself I'll turn into trash
No timer was set
Yet I think I might explode at the sound of your voice
I think we all would be consumed by the flash

Point your finger
Slam the gavel
End my trial
Don't let the ringing in my ears linger
I know I'm not allowed to travel
I want you to wait at the end of the mile

I'm being crushed under pressure
I want you to make my decision
Kill them for me; I'm not cruel enough
Make me ignorant and allow me pleasure
End our awkward division
I want your hands to be powerful and rough

Corner me
I can't choose
I'm blind, you see
Or is my role in this act simply to lose?

Please, will you
Just this one time
Relieve me of my freedom
Just this once
Don't be yourself
