SOCIETY FORCED ME TO BE SOMEONE I CAN NEVER BE
THEY SAID I WAS A PEARL HIDDEN INSIDE A BABY PINK OYESTER. SLOWLY BEING FORMED WITH UTMOST CARE AND PERFECTION. THE SHELL CLAMPED SHUT WITH JUST ENOUGH AIR TO CLAW OUT A RAGGED BREATH.
"LET ME OUT!" SCREAMS ARE OVERLOOKED. IGNORE THE SCRAPING SOUNDS FROM DEEP WITHIN.
THEY SAID MY TIME HAS NOT YET COME. THEY SAID I'D SHINE AND BE LET FREE WHEN IT WAS TIME.
FORGIVE ME MY SAFE HOME BUT I DID NOT WISH TO BE BORN ONLY TO BE SUFFOCATED BY YOUR LOVE BURDENED ARMS OF COPPER. COPPER BECAUSE YOU SAID YOU COULDN'T AFFORD PRICELESS GOLDEN LIMBS YOU HAD DREAMT OF.
WHY WON'T YOU LET ME GO?
YOU SAID YOUR ONLY PURPOSE WAS TO PROTECT MY DREAMS BUT FORGIVE ME MY DREAMS ARE NOT THE ONES YOU WOVE FOR ME. THE WIDE SALTY OCEAN MIGHT BE THE ACCUMULATION OF SWEAT AND TEARS BUT I AM A PART OF THIS SIDE OF THE COSMOS. I WAS BORN TO LIVE HERE, TO SMILE AND LAUGH AND LOVE AND GRIEVE. I WAS BORN TO BE FREE.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD COME TO ME AND CHOOSE ME, THAT I WOULD BE DECKED IN GOLD AND SILVER, OR ADORNED WITH RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES AMD DIAMONDS.
BUT THEY NEVER CAME.
YOU LIED TO ME. YOU LIED AND I THOUGHT FOR ONCE I COULD LIVE THE WAY YOU TOLD ME TO.
FORGIVE ME FOR IT SEEMS LIKE I WAS NEVER ONE OF THE CHOSEN. I CANNOT STAND TO LOOK AT YOUR ROTTING HOLLOW SOUL ANYMORE AND COUNT THE DAYS TILL I ROT TO THE BONE AND DIE NEVER ONCE GETTING TO TASTE THE SALTY OCEAN OF TEARS AND SWEAT YOU TOLD ME ABOUT.
