Not Ensnared
Trapped within my inability to let go
Will I reach my goal and will I know
I relentlessly pursue my own happiness
Or will I end up in hapless duress
I will not let myself think of failure
In this way I will know how to feel sure
Also try only to think of the positives
And I always want to be a man that gives
I think I have wriggled free of my bonds
Some think that I am partial to blonds
Really I like all shades of hair
Just looking for someone to be there
Never stop looking for your soul mate
We all just need the patience to wait
If you truly believe you will find yours
Even if you have to get down on all fours
No more snares or bonds to hold me
I broke them all and got free
The chains that held me are broken
And now I can be outspoken
Now that I am not ensnared
Everything I do can be shared
You can read me like a book
Just turn the page and look
