Just Wanted To Be Me
I have been dormant for almost my entirety
When you ask me these questions
You would shut me like I wasn't a necessity
I wanted so bad to splurge you with my opinions
When you tell me those stories
You oblige me to listen like I wasn't have my own actions
You tell me to go reach what I desire
But when I get too far
You pull the string like I was a dog and you're my sire
I wanted so bad to explode like sleeping volcano
Take off the heat and the anger you planted in me
But you have every way to stop me and say "no"
I wanted to be free, with no string or hook attached
With no date expirations when I get too far
I wanted to be awakened or get outside my hatched
I wanted to be me without your endless watch
Without interrogations and your little judgements
I badly wanted to be me like myself without a trace of your catch.
