the leash is so short

10 0 0
                                    

Free me of these chains 
You sit and dangle the keys
the blood boils in my veins
What will it take to feel at ease

Its not love its control
Your grip is so tight
On the inside I feel as bland as coal
Waiting to escape at night

The leash is so short
Im begging for some slack
A short feeling of comfort
But all i get is set back

I hope one day i can be me
And not who you want me to be.
