Hungry
I'm hungry enough to eat a horse
A horse I won't eat
its what I need when I choose my course
My course is any except returning home
Returning home is pain if only someone had known
Known that I'm starve for my freedom that's so far away
Far away from this house that even flowers die in may
In may is my chance in terms of graduation to push through the door
The door is my future and my steps are hesitant and my eyesight being poor
Poor me, would my persona would say with its chelsea's smile
Smile big with your eyes being dark as you lips spill out denials
Denials of ever so many, yes, keep pushing them back
Back off from your heart that's encased in glass
its the only thing that is keeping it intact
Intact behind a brick wall
But in someone's hands it will bleed
At moments, there will be people who get so close
they will feed me what I desire
Its them when they leave I need
Malnutrition is a crime to do to a child
A child that seeks for more as they grow
That after being bind down and now free will go wild
But these are only words flowing from my mind
And slowly I'm getting tired of the same rhyme
Expectations, restrictions, guides and rules
Just leave me to my room where I create my fantasy
Harsh and annoying in true reality.
Even when I write my poems, my stories, my songs
Even when I cry, fight, scream and whimper
Even when I have my close friends, my family
Even when I have my music, my certain tools, my books
I want to leave it all to be myself..
I would do the cliche thing and even try to find myself
I'll return with peace in my mind and full
Thoughts on returning home makes me lose my appetite
So in order to be healthy and keep a live horse
I will fill my own refrigerator
