Influences.

I thought I was alone
in the only place I considered safe.
But I was wrong.
It turns out that there are influences in my mind.

My choices are not my own.
I am controlled by a higher authority.
Somewhere in the distance,
a stranger watches me.

I am a mere rag doll
and now that I know the truth,
I don't see the point of living anymore.
Not when everything's set in stone.

When life is all I know,
and I think of all the choices I could make
then I learn about my fate
That I'm just a slave of higher influences.
