I feel like i am imprisoned
There are bars encasing my heart
They are constricting
and suffocating
and debilitating
And i can't take a full enough breath
to laugh
Or be able to will myself
to smile
I feel contained in a separate world
Always looking in through the bars i am enclosed in.
I am limited
to limited happiness.
And i am keeping myself
from loving you more
or loving you less.
Always in a constant struggle to keep a balance
where neither of us gets hurt.

I feel like i am imprisoned
There are bars encasing my heart
They are constricting
and suffocating
and debilitating
And i can't take a full enough breath
to laugh
Or be able to will myself
to smile
I feel contained in a separate world
Always looking in through the bars i am enclosed in.
I am limited
to limited happiness.
And i am keeping myself
from loving you more
or loving you less.
Always in a constant struggle to keep a balance
where neither of us gets hurt.
When those around you hurt you hurt too
