Tied down

How long will I have to be here? 
I have been here since as long as I can remember 
Tried to move on 
But I am trapped to 
I am tied to you 
Fate and destiny doesn't want me to move on 
I am on a collar 
You pull me back 
It chocks me - I feel like I can't stand it any longer 
I can't breath - I am going more under 
There have been attempts 
The leasehold is part of me 
I am tied up in a straight jacket and I need that assistance 
I am defenceless without it 
Can't look after myself 
I have tried it 
Have the ambition but not the heart 
Have the desire but not the will 
I have the dream but not the reality 
Can't do this much longer - feels like it's slowly killing me 
A torturous death 
A long death 
It is slow and it is painful and everyone can see it 
It wears on me - it holds me back - it tires me 
Can't take this much longer 
How much longer can I be here?
