Once Pressured

Of boredom and sadness filled upon me
When darkness had covered my brain
He told me just to relax and be free
Whilst my face was shown with depressed insane.

“Live with ease” he had told me times
With no trouble life ain’t anymore crime
But when problems began I started to cry
And would blame on life for being such a sly.

Finally the day had come
When I’m fully released from the chain
A woman for freedom I will become
That’s what I deserved after the hollow pain.
