Speak up

Lies
and spies
and anguished cries-
somehow still my hands
are tied.
Satan seems to be my guide
touring me through hell.
Cheat- 
deceit-
yet no retreat.
Self-esteem has met defeat.
hard to face reality
so living in make believe.
Wait.
Just wait-
and concentrate.
Don't accept this as your fate.
The final word
yet to be said-
make sure it is you own.
