When did freedom start
Feeling so confined
How does pure desire
Find its way to shackles
&
  Wade so deep
  In
  
Codependent indecision
    
     Just settle in
      With how you've been
       Afflicted
        Don't worry child
         Life's never mild
      
           Don't make it bigger
            Than it needs to be
             To have a reason
              To run and flee
               It's OK child
              
                It stings
                
                 When you feel
                  Hungry on Tuesday
                   & by week's end
                   You're
                  
                    Diving off the deep end
                    
                      Do not be alarmed
                      
                    
                    
                        
                           It's just your
                            Beating heart
                            
                            Earning every drop
                            Of love you've
                            Fought for
                            Dropped for
                            Stopped for
