Self Confined

I’m self confined with another In this loveless prison cell It's the height of my suffering Like a taste of pure hell I’ve got to break out I’ve got to break free As my soul needs to dance If it’s just only with me My friends don’t understand For all these longings inside Are not on view to the world As from the world, I must hide They say how lucky I am What a great life i lead All those trappings from money But I just want to be freed They see my joyful facade But it’s just a mask that I wear I feel like screaming to them all "But I just want someone to care" "I need someone to care" With him, my soul is so hungry I’m starving inside I want someone to quench me But he just sucks me dry The walls just confine me As he shackles my heart As he smothers my joy And drives us further apart But I was never his love Never walked by his side He was never a soulmate In whom I could confide For a kindred spirit Never makes you feel small But as large as the heavens Oh I just want it all Not the trappings of ‘stuff’ Of that, I’ve had enough But the freedom to breath To inhale life’s pure bliss I want to break out For it's this that I miss
