You said you'd make me careful
But instead, you gave me fear
To ensure I would stay locked
Inside my room that's right here.
You just want to keep me and
Protect me like I am glass,
But I just want to live my
Life is that too much to ask?
You keep me locked up away
For you fear that I will break
But if you do then I will
Shatter because I can't take
The cold, the dark, the gaol walls,
Or being crushed by your love.
I'd rather pounce like tigers
Or fly away like a dove.
You tell me that I will crack
If I move, laugh, cry, or speak,
But my shield, it weighs me down
And it only makes me weak.
The outside glows like a song
And I long to escape this.
I'll drop my shield and grab a
Sword. Mother, I mean business.
