Be Free

Grind it all away… The sadness, the disease of malnutrition, the decay… I want you to float on high like a feather off a bird Allowing the calmer breezes to bring you to this world Grind these cruel thoughts into bits and see the good I would give you a place to stay if I could If you would stay, if you would allow yourself to bloom Instead of blinding yourself with self-hatred and gloom I am so sick of you hating yourself because of me I am so sick of wanting to be free We are…take it all away Listen, stop screaming in your head for me to stay I am here—but your cruel necessities drive all away Lift up your voids of anger, sadness, and deceit Loosen up your sovereignties—and breathe!!! I cannot help you all of the time I cannot save you from the currents But please…please don’t let the pain flourish Let yourself free from the bondage of your caged sorrows Allow yourself to fill up on warmth—allow yourself to swallow! But upon the excruciating agony—still you wallow Why do you choose to do this for yourself? Why have you given up? You know, what hurts the most? That you accept your pain…your so-called pathetic ways And drag me straight down with you… Shall we swim together in the waste of time, That you have so craftily established? I will rise to the surface without blemish I will tell you once more—be free!!! And if you only ignore— All will not matter anymore I am not staying to watch you fall Pick yourself up if you care at all But don’t bring me down like this Don’t accept the negative wars Or like a war, fight them off, cut them off, grind them to dust I will fight with you if I must… But I will not accept defeat Get up on your feet Believe.
