I won’t lie
I would fly
If I wasn’t anchored by this chain
Created by guilt and pain
Every moment I’ve spent
In this torment
Plotting my next move
Wondering what I have to prove
To everyone around
Have I done enough
Am I that tough
Do I deserve peace
Will my sorrow ever cease
Shall I still burn
Will my rage still spurn
**** these questions pathetic
**** acting so empathetic
The irony binds me
Others hostility blinds me
Resist the vicious instinct
Please violence become extinct
I have promises to keep
Yet I’m losing sleep
My anxiety suffocates me
Causes me to act senselessly
Control is so sporadic
As emotions become erratic
