I’ve been inching closer and closer to the sun Mingling with heavy things that leave today in shadow That hold me down, like a ball and chain Closer and closer to your submersible opinions That change quicker than the seasons When spring wheels around, I’ll dive into your melted eyes like snow Because I’m done being trapped and confined I’m no sample in a jar, Dead and on display in a biology classroom These acid raindrops don’t scar me anymore Now that I’m pursuing my own life And I owe it all to that boss DJ Who helped me grow my wings To fly away with those three little birds Who glide and sing encouraging words
This is actually inspired by a prompt using song titles. I don't normally like work from prompts but I'm pleased with this piece and I think I used the titles well. I normally refrain from using the word "thing(s)" but as it was a title I'd chosen, I decided to keep it. There's 10 song titles in there, if anyone can recognize a few of them.
