Why am I not free?
To be…
The person that I want
To be?
Why must I feel tied?
To what I was?
What is the cause?
That I am not free,
To be - me?
I long to break the
Bond
That ties me to,
Doing the things the way
I do.
If only I could see,
Just
What it is that keeps
Me blind.
That does not let me
Find
The knot that ties
Me,
To the things I do.
Bird in a cage freer
Tis than
I
It knows the reason
Why,
It cannot fly,
Back to the sky.
I seeing not what
Holds me.
Yearn!
To be free
Yearn!
To be free
