Caged Mind

By addicted_angel

Can I write a chain and hang myself
When did silence become a fucking crime?
Thoughts policed as if they were anything but just thoughts
I can’t
Be or breathe or feel anything like this
I’m fading away
Falling so far
I can’t find my way back
Disappearing from the field of stars that once blanketed my mind
That made tolerable all things painful and unfair
Would you have me forget my thoughts and
Have me forget all that I am to please your childish pride?
To comfort you in your latest(self-made)tragic drama that only arises to
Steal the thoughts that aren’t of you
I can’t
Do this anymore
I’m dying
Strangled every time I grasp for something made not of you
but still struggling every chance I get
For a single breath of freedom

    Hang in there, freedom will come...come to those who wait- even though waiting sucks. Nice write. :)
