"Hopes and Dreams" by Mevima

Let me out!

I'm trapped... can't you see?
No.
Of course not.
No one ever has.
No one ever will.

No family,
No hopes.
Not even a dream.
Don't most Cats dream?
I don't.

Not any more.

I gave up dreaming a long time ago.
It never did anything for me.
Why should I keep something that lets me down -
Every time?

With my dreams went my mind.
I retreated;
Far into myself.
Now I can't get out.

I don't control myself.
It's not my body anymore.
But if it isn't mine...
Whose is it?

Who controls me when I hiss,
"Leave me alone."?
Who controls me when I yell,
"Kill him!"?

They think I'm the leader.
They think I'm the one who kills.
Who murders.
I'm not!

Let me out!

I never wanted this.
I move with no compassion,
No feelings,
Letting no one keep hope.

You need hope.
I should know.
You need hope to keep yourself alive,
And in control.

This isn't me!
I don't hurt!
I don't murder!
I don't --

Or do I?
