Suffocating

Does it make you feel powerful

When you ask me to fake a smile?

Bitter thoughts hanging in the air

Wasting breath on words so vile

Screaming inside, suffocating

While you dictate what I should be

And how does your voice, uninvited

Drown me out until I can't breathe?

Your two cents is worth nothing at all

No one asked for your point of view

You make judgements on what you see

But they're only reflecting you

Why do you have to speak so loud?

You must really like the way your voice sounds

Telling me what I should wear

While I feel your burning stare

Screaming inside, suffocating

While you dictate what I should be

And how does your voice, uninvited

Drown me out until I can't breathe?

Screaming inside, suffocating

While you dictate what I should be

And how does your voice, uninvited

Drown me out until I can't breathe?
