whats stopping u right now?

i can hear ur heart beating,
ur mind feeling
and ur eyes r reading,
like sunshine ur soul is gleaming.

whats stopping ur lungs from breathing?
ur dreams from being,
and those words in ur mouth from speaking?

what the fuck is holding
u back because u know ur head is screaming,
u locked up your throat its leaving
ur spirit trapped and trying
2 remember who u were wanting
to be.

whats stopping u right now?
what is stopping ur thoughts from airing
out 2 the crowd; they're listening.
what is stopping ur mind from believing
that maybe u can be who u were fantasizing
of being.

ur heavy heart is beating.
ur beautiful mind is feeling,
ur eyes r reading
the crowd,
ur body is gleaming
and ur soul is begging
to be freed.
