Free Spirit

Trapped

Sometimes we feel like we're trapped

Soul hidden and energy sapped

Stay in the shadows, they're harsh out there

Avoid their whisper, avoid their stare

Stay quiet, stay in the background

They won't know who you are

Make no noise, make no sound

You are only one obscure star

They can't laugh if they can't find you

They can't stare or remind you

What an awkward mess you're meant to be

That crazy kid who can't even see

I didn't use to be like this

I was happy, I was free

I joked and sang in bliss

Now I don't even know Me

I used to cheer up people's day

Now I'm a storm they push away

I gave them help when problems overcame them

But when I need help, should I blame them?

I AM my own person with my own mind

I AM someone that will smile

I AM someone humble and kind

I AM someone that will talk for a while

I AM not controlled by what other people say

My good intention will not be molded like clay

I AM not controlled by what other people think

Labels can disappear with only one blink

I AM not controlled by what other people will see

Being called a creep or asshole shouldn't affect me

I AM not controlled by what people do

The only things that control me are what's true

I AM trapped, lost and alone

But now I will be made new

I AM broken down to the bone

But now I CONTROL what I do.
