Hidden Freedom

Freedom slid behind the slats

of yesterday’s desires

Now I cannot see to change the scene

or reignite the fire

 

I am running backwards into time

refusing to slow down

Chasing dreams that disappeared

into the sinking ground

 

The sky has swallowed my pretty rainbow

I cannot find my *** of gold

What do I do with myself

when I find I am growing old

 

I fight the fight of freedom’s way

but yesterday has hidden me

Now I am afraid to change or reignite the scene

that was a part of me

 

I talk and talk to these walls

that only close and confine

If I do not change some of these things

I will surely lose my mind
