To Be Free
Petals slowly unfurl, reaching out to the sun,
Searching for warmth, when inside there is none.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
Invisible shackles tie me down, the weighted binds restricting.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
From the earth that keeps me grounded,
To the life that holds me captive.
From the anger and pain that swallow me,
To the tears burning, trailing-down the sides of my face.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
From the endless questions I ask myself,
To the defeated slump in my shoulders.
From the uneasy breaths that keep me alive,
To the unspoken plea on my tongue.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
From the hands tightening around my lungs,
Stealing my air, suffocating me, slowly...killing me.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
From words that are meant to comfort,
From words that break me.
What I wouldn't give to be free-
Is it possible to want freedom from freedom itself?
To want freedom from the pain that keeps me alive?
From the tears that remind me that a rock still cries?
The slump of my shoulders may bring me down hard,
But the cold, dark ground won't bring relief-
Not in the way I need it.
I don't want to die fighting this war alone.
This war against myself, against my mind...
I just want to be free.
...And what I wouldn't give, just to feel it...
