Restraints

I bite my tongue To refrain myself From screaming You stung Quick and fast I only asked Yes or no Right or wrong I think we all know I don’t belong I am choking I have so many words to say And yet I can’t say them I scream inside my head So much left to say Dragons in my mind to slay Someday When I'm not controlled by the restraints The restraints that get tighter, and tighter and tighter For each passing day I wish all the monsters in my head would go away Am I too young to hide under the bed? What am I hiding from you said I'm hiding from the raging storm But that storm is in my head My vision slowly clouds with doubts from my past, Not being able to breath Choking on my unspoken words I wait and wait and wait But my knight in shining armor never comes I have no idea what's just begun The beginning of the end I just want a friend To share my unspoken word to I am drowning in things unsaid I have bled I have breathed Now it is time for you to leave So, I may ponder While I wonder Will I survive this cruel world A design meant for others I am being snuffed out by the covers Of the story’s they wrote And you took for your own Until my dying day I will say Beware of the unjust Avoid the dust That layers old hauntings For you do not want to know the past It's worse than the present So cut the restraints that bind you Bind you to them And run as far away as you can I have a plan We will rewrite history Because we can Will they let us? No Will that stop us? No We will decide what is right or wrong Yes or no we belong To us and ourselves Take control of your life so, say bye bye to the bad guys and hello to the wise Write your own story and write it different from them Cut the restraints that bind you from freedom
