------------____________-----------------
I don’t expect you to understand me
I know how I act
the words that I say
the things that I feel
and the way that I live my life
are all mysteries to you.
You held me
you cherished me
and now you watch me disappear
fading into the mist of a darkened wood
heading down paths you dare not tread
and opening doors you thought locked for good
But that’s where we’re different
you and I
where you saw safety
I saw a prison
Where you saw a closed door
I saw opportunity
Where you saw taboo
I saw nothing but emptiness and lies
So no, I don’t expect you to understand me
No more than I understand you
and your laws
and your petty ideals
But I ask you to let me live
as I let you
Give me the freedom I crave
Spare me your ill tongue
or your spiteful gaze
I offer neither to you
All I seek is the freedom I need
the freedom to open the doors
the freedom to chase my trails
and the freedom to follow the dreams that suit me
That is all I ask of you
and that is all I ask of the world.
Because I can break all of the ties that bind me
save the ones imposed by my fellow man
in a senseless bid for safety
in a world missing all notion of compassion
I can throw my shackles aside
and unlock my own chains
all while rotting in a world devoid
of even the basic concept of understanding

| wow. this is a fantastic write..it is so full of emotion and so much more...to me it's telling the world..just let me be me, let me chase my dreams, and stop trying to knock me down...and at the same time speaking of the world we live in having no understanding..and trying to keep you locked down..like they are all afraid that others may hear or see you and start trying to be themselves and chase their dreams...then the rest of the world in a sense will be losing controle....and thats what it boils down to..controle, power, and of course money talks... |
