Straitjacket
I have a dream
Why it is not there
I am ready to go
Why I am stuck
Desperate for freedom
Yet unable to
The baggage on my shoulder
How long I have to carry
I cannot break free
Stuck in my head
Going backwards
Tied up in chains
Nothing to hold on
For hope and faith
Covered in straitjacket
Brawling my tears out
Why this is happening to me
Do I have to go through this
Battling in turns and twists
Body stale
Mind rots
Stubborn stains of negativity
Barely grasping air
On the surface
Sustain sanity
Too weak
Voicing help
Down
Down
Bubbling away
Fading trace of me
Remains
Feeling pain
Leaving world unrest
