I lie alone in these sheets
While you're roaming the streets, for you
No I will not lower my voice
It's my life my choice, not you
Society stares with judgmental glares
As I walk out the door and away, from you
I do not recall at what moment I began to fall
From a walk to a crawl, for you
Panic stricken as these chains thicken
But noting will hold me, not even you
I see victory within my reach
No I won't listen to others preach on behalf, of you
There will be no apologies in a whispered voice
For making my choice for me, not you
You took away the best part of me
Replacing her with a cardboard copy, of you
I am not clay I cannot be molded in a way
That suits only the needs, of you

In the darkness lies the uncertainty of what morning brings
Last night a strange bird chirped in my ear
Said he could see right through to my soul
I could not shake those words
I felt naked and exposed like never before
I listened to the pitter patter of his feet
Dance through the night in my mind
When I finally opened my eyes
I was met with a vision so serene
He left me a gift that came to me by way of a dream
A gift that uncovered my eyes so that I might truly see

We must have crossed paths long ago in a past life
Long before the glare of these synthetic lights
My eyes filled with luminous visions to ponder
From your mouth seeped precious words you chose to squander
Delicate we were such fools of youth
Under the invasive lights of life's untimely truths

— The End —
