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
