I've been trapped
With this ambition
To be someone
To belong
I got too caught up
That I had forgotten
To breathe
And mostly
To live
I died every day
My sole purpose given to me
I did not exist as my own
I was nothing but a puppet
Living only for its master
The threads holding me up tight
When all I wanted was to rest
To feel the ground that I walk on
I was trapped
And I did nothing to leave
So when it came
The sudden rush of energy
I was at a loss
Should I?
Why would I?
Questions swarmed in my head
Slowly deciding
Whether it was worth it
Until I can't stop it
Emotions wanted to rush out
I wanted to be free
I wanted to be free so hard
That every thread snapped
And for the first time
I laughed
I danced
All in glee
For freedom
From everything that chained me
Brought with it the relief
I was free
And
I can finally be myself
