I don't know you

You're somewhere far away,
I don't even know your face.
Yet in your words you speak
Truth and honesty.
Your words make me smile,
When the world is dark.
It stirs emotions,
So long forgotten.
I might not know you,
But I would like to.

Orders

The words pound at my head,
Echoing even in the darkest part.
Being heard through anything.
I fell like Cinderella,
Taking orders, doing everything
That you're too lazy to do.
Only I don't have a happily ever after.
I hear the orders that you tell me.
Do this, do that, do that exactly right.

Just be prepared,
Because one of these days Im going to stare you down
And say 'Go to hell.'
