Heartbeat To Freedom

My heart....
Beats at the sound of freedom
Leaps from the chains that bond me
Creeps from the person that has me 
Captive
In chains 
Tied to a fiction
But acceptance to reality
Tourtured
Humiliated
Scared 
Tied
I try to escape
The sunlight so close
The warmth of the sun
But he chains me 
And does all this to me
BECAUSE
I am not supposed to leave and no one does anything to find me

So I devised several plans
None with the possibility of failing
My heart....
Beats at the sound of freedom
Leaps from the chains that bond me
Creeps from the person that has me 
But he always manages to bring me back
Bringing me to this prison
Where my dreams are nothing but a piece of fiction
Where I am just another name
Another name of the list of those prisoned

So I closed my eyes and pretended
Pretended to be far away
Hearing the drum beat of freedom
The one my heart beats to

But I planned and planned and planned
Each one better than the rest
But he always brings me back
Chaining me to reality
I know that no one looks for me
In the world out there
 I am just another name
On another flyer
On another day

 But when I close my eyes 
I hear the drumbeat of my heart
Beating to the sound of freedom
The sound of freedom
The sound that I yearn

The Apple

Here take this treat
One bite, an you will be transported to a land so sweet
Everything will come true
Snow white took one bite
And her time flew by like a flight
It bitter sweet taste will seduce you for sure

One thing about this is so hard to tell
That why snow white fell
It seduces you till the last breath

Don’t worry, I will be here for you
Trust me so I can help you move
Fall deeper in my arms, you’ll see

This apple has a secret
One bite and time has to tell
One bite, and you will be enchanted

Don’t worry, no one will know
This land will be a secret so you and me can go
Your mother will be fine and no one will realize

One bite you take, a mistake you must make
But it will be rewarded, a treat so sweet
It even matches your personality

But beware, for powers so grand
You will be guided by the wrong hand
Placing only trust in your enemy

Hold steady as you eat
We don’t want you to choke and fall asleep
And waking up will only be a nightmare

You will find yourself lost
Lost in time
Lost your place

But come, ask snow white 
She will time you the time she had
She bit the apple and she was peaceful

Everyone noticed that
Everyone will that too
Take one bite love

One bite is all I ask
But take the bite and fall in my arms
The arms of the unknown will be your final task
