Fall the final curtain
I am frozen in pose
My life was choked
Air drawn out
In every breath
Kept my head
Beneath the surface
Again your words
Leave me worthless
I float there
Without air in my lungs
Or life in my heart
Hover in utero
Waiting to birth
After one of my deaths
You can kill my soul
Leave me unwhole
But I will not die
Nor relinquish my flesh
My soul floats in ether
Waiting
Shelter inside
Asylum's chimes
Calling
My mind
Nothing in me
Ready to survive
What is left
But dying
When our lives
Are toys for the masters
