Restricted

I’ve been restricted from birth’ I was born with a leash I’ve never been on land and I feel like a fish Restricted like a boat caught on land I cant float on shore because I’m stuck in the sand Starving because of words that I ate I can’t build a future and I can’t go on a date I’m just an abandoned car left without rims Even a cadaver dog can’t sniff the cent of my dreams Dashed by my own flesh and blood They say “Its thicker than water” but I’m stuck in the mud My success is unfair to them’ and I don’t belong So I decided to write this poem’ but it won’t to be long Sometimes I wish I could swap with someone in prison Because I’ve been stuck in this pit for long & I’m freezing Restricted, by my own fear, to utter the whole story Frightened by the servants who gave the devil glory
