I tried to think about myself as a sacrifice
As a means to help out others with the twists of life
Sacrificing my own joy and happiness as a means to set them free
Only to find out the only one still in a cage would be me
Shackled by all these chains weighing over me
This is not how I thought my life was supposed to be
Did I truly pursue a path of liberation
Or was I blinded by the truth until I reached this revelation
That the only way to be free is to free myself
That in this life there won't always be someone ready to help
You must depend on yourself not on somebody else
For that is truly the only path to get out this living hell
