Freedom

Your sweet smell reminds me I'm in love.

I'm trapped in it like a caged white dove.

It hits my nose, coming from my jacket.

Reminds me of my weakness. I'm pathetic.

 

Hanging on every word, every statement.

Sometimes you make my heart hit the pavement.

You **** me with your cannots and lost dreams.

I see that you're scared. Nothing is what it seems.

 

On the outside, they control you, manipulative.

On the inside, you're screaming, vindictive.

You've got a master plan, a solution.

You can't, won't, take anymore dilution.

They've diluted your dreams with their own.

You're relationships hit bottom, like stones.

Always an excuse, an eventually.

Your dreams crushed so pretentiously.

 

One day, it will be your life that you'll live.

One day, they'll realize everything they didn't give.

It hurts me to see you this way,

With no way to help and nothing to say.

So alone in your life, no one around.

Always being doubted, judged, and downed.

 

Continue to be strong throughout your struggle.

Maybe one day, you'll take off your muzzle.

Stand up for your life, everything that's right.

It won't be easy, but it's worth the fight.

I'll be there if you need me, I'll help how I can.

I'm sorry I'm like this, I just don't understand.
