I can’t take this pain
they tell me to not complain
you are here to entertain
I am just a woman whose trapped in chains.
My whole world is pouring rain
guess I can’t differentiate raindrops from tears
my mind is unclear,
tell me, am I going insane?
It’s not easy to explain
why I keep feeling this way
again,
and again,
and again.

I hate being held down,
Or someone thinking they have control over me.
It makes my knuckles twinge,
And my face burn.

Why would someone else control me,
Want to tell me what to do,
I don't even control me.
So who, in fact, are you?

You aren't my mother,
You aren't my father,
You're merely a friend.
But don't get me wrong, I don't want our friendship to end.

But it feels like you're smothering me,
Trying to chain me down,
Rip off my wings,
Or ****** down my crown.

But I won't let that happen,
So I'll cut the chains you've tried to use,
And I'll keep my wings above your reach,
And I will hold my head high,
And I will guard my crown.

I walk with a straggle,
The chains become tighter with
Every step.
You see, this is my reason for
Giving up.

"You hold the key
to your own shackles"

I can set myself free,
With what ambition,
when my hands are tied?
What's the point of changing
When I've lied
For them to Believe I'm fine?

They say you can change,
They say it's possible to Believe
In something other than pain.
For this, I won't give up.
For this, I'll keep going
Until my hands don't reach
As low as my shackles hang.

Where the horizon ends
Is a world unhinged by the gravity of
A heart.
A world as mysterious as tomorrow
That seems to be so full of possibilities
That we couldn’t possibly count them all.
A world where no human could go because of the chains that it would
Break upon entering.
A world that we can reach for but never quite
Touch.
A world that marks a start for some and an
End for others.
A beautiful world that can be seen but never looked at.
That can be imagined but never guaranteed.
As deep as the sky and as mysterious as an ocean.
A world that beckons.
A world that saves.
And a world that destroys.
An intricate tapestry that has so very many strings
That all depend on each other.
A world that you can only notice on the line
Where the horizon ends.
