Restraints
I bite my tongue
To refrain myself
From screaming
You stung
Quick and fast
I only asked
Yes or no
Right or wrong
I think we all know I don’t belong
I am choking
I have so many words to say
And yet I can’t say them
I scream inside my head
So much left to say
Dragons in my mind to slay
Someday
When I'm not controlled by the restraints
The restraints that get tighter, and tighter and tighter
For each passing day
I wish all the monsters in my head would go away
Am I too young to hide under the bed?
What am I hiding from you said
I'm hiding from the raging storm
But that storm is in my head
My vision slowly clouds with doubts from my past,
Not being able to breath
Choking on my unspoken words
I wait and wait and wait
But my knight in shining armor never comes
I have no idea what's just begun
The beginning of the end
I just want a friend
To share my unspoken word to
I am drowning in things unsaid
I have bled
I have breathed
Now it is time for you to leave
So, I may ponder
While I wonder
Will I survive this cruel world
A design meant for others
I am being snuffed out by the covers
Of the story’s they wrote
And you took for your own
Until my dying day I will say
Beware of the unjust
Avoid the dust
That layers old hauntings
For you do not want to know the past
It's worse than the present
So cut the restraints that bind you
Bind you to them
And run as far away as you can
I have a plan
We will rewrite history
Because we can
Will they let us?
No
Will that stop us?
No
We will decide what is right or wrong
Yes or no we belong
To us and ourselves
Take control of your life
so, say bye bye
to the bad guys
and hello to the wise
Write your own story and
write it different from them
Cut the restraints that bind you from freedom
