Although I followed the rules,

I became a scapegoat

An artificial paradise surrounded by a fake protection

The promise to never go away

Unknown dangers, waiting in the shadows

Traumatic warnings

Inside from the start

Guilty of obedience

Scapegoat

the danger never came from the outside

Now I stand as an example to all who follow the rules

The mourning of the ideal

The distant calls were not threats

Just bursts of survival

A deaf ear and total trust betrayed me

My infinite credulity

For this lesson so painfully learned

Open my veins wide to the distress of the world

Goodbye

May it infiltrate, bite and digest me

I'm just the scapegoat of her promises

The one who was supposed to be my guide

She wanted me to be hers only, her personal slave

Hiding the whole world in a dollhouse

Playing by the book never works
