Limited
I'm so limited
From everything
I'm prohibited
You hold me back
By my arms
If I rip or writhe
Don't be alarmed
I'll get tired
I'll go slack
Just hold my arms
Behind my back

Excuse me please,
Could you sweep me up?
I've tried myself
But no such luck.
Glue me together
Cause I fell apart.
Please help me mend
My broken heart.
Emily Madeira Jul 2010
Their fingers dig into my skin
Scratching pulling at my sin
I'm irritated, red and raw
Deaf are they to my dying call
Desperately trying to flee
Please oh please just let me be

Naked, face up in the sea
That's how someday you'll find me
The ocean is my salty tears
Seagulls peck at all my fears
And although you wont hear it
The bottomless trench is my spirit
I'm sunk even though I float
Nowhere near is a boat
The staring sun burns my skin
It knows the secret I hold within
All I want to do is drown
This is something I wont live down

— The End —
