Heartbeat To Freedom
My heart....
Beats at the sound of freedom
Leaps from the chains that bond me
Creeps from the person that has me
Captive
In chains
Tied to a fiction
But acceptance to reality
Tourtured
Humiliated
Scared
Tied
I try to escape
The sunlight so close
The warmth of the sun
But he chains me
And does all this to me
BECAUSE
I am not supposed to leave and no one does anything to find me
So I devised several plans
None with the possibility of failing
My heart....
Beats at the sound of freedom
Leaps from the chains that bond me
Creeps from the person that has me
But he always manages to bring me back
Bringing me to this prison
Where my dreams are nothing but a piece of fiction
Where I am just another name
Another name of the list of those prisoned
So I closed my eyes and pretended
Pretended to be far away
Hearing the drum beat of freedom
The one my heart beats to
But I planned and planned and planned
Each one better than the rest
But he always brings me back
Chaining me to reality
I know that no one looks for me
In the world out there
I am just another name
On another flyer
On another day
But when I close my eyes
I hear the drumbeat of my heart
Beating to the sound of freedom
The sound of freedom
The sound that I yearn
