Ribcage - My Three Wishes - Chapter 6

Split apart your ribcage, Open up the corridor, and let me come in Uneasiness instantly strikes through me Let me sway away... Let me flutter away... Like a butterfly out of its cocoon I'm trapped! Let me depart Split apart your ribcage, Unwrap me, let me go! Believe me...reflect on me Let me sway away...flutter away Let us both seek the sun, So we can grow together once more You think everything good is gone – you’re dead wrong! You think this is the end – think again! I’ll make you feel like you belong! There’s a new beginning – this is not the end Our hearts will never wither away or bend Our faith will never be shaken We won’t be pushed out of shape and bakin’ Split apart your ribcage, Unwrap me, for I’m left untamed Scrub away my filthy rage Feeling this shame that must not be named “Let it go! Let it go!” – easy for you to say Oh! Maybe I’ll let it go another day Just leave me be, so I can feed off of my dismay I spread my wings and attempt to reach for my dreams But, I’m such a loser…it’s not what it seems My self-esteem is broken My loneliness is a remorse that is unspoken Believe me...reflect on me Give me a chance…to experience cloud seven’s ecstasy Trust me…I know why I’m here, stranded in the middle of the wild, treacherous sea The treacherous sea describes the way I feel, churning with hardly any dignity Don’t fed me another spoonful of agony I’ll spit it out in envy…in displeasure… Let me see what’s in store in the future, promising amity My sentiments will be as unpredictable as weather Resurrect the delight, crawling in my veins and make me someone better Someone who deserves praise and someone who is mature If I can have three wishes, they would sure be: To release me from his ribcage, To help me be more emotionally stable, And to boost my self-esteem? Raped by this sensation of disbelief and lament I am shocked that I was in captivity my whole life Been saying that I love you lately for multiple reasons, but I will take it easy this fine, splendid day that I simply adore! ! ! Chilled to the bone; basking in shivering shame and abolishing avarice Acknowledging what I've done in the past and learning to let it go somehow...I'll look up to God and He will gladly heal me from my injuries and be my compass 24/7 - you're my heaven Growing fast & still learning to live with this heartache in mind Empty as a drum - you're not filling in my gaps What would your three wishes be? Follow your dreams and be free!
