Here within these walls I feel confined to
I can only create
The surge of energy that comes
From being chained
Feels illegal to me
Trapped in a prison
Of my mind
While my body is forced to
Weigh the burdon
But it sharpens me
Restless I am unbound
My body submits to my will
I put my plans into actions
I reach the start of my day
By ending the nightmares
But too restless to enjoy
The star that I paved way
To burn and light away
I still want to be freed
From my captive stay
With providing everything
I despise everything
Echoes of my tainted soul
Have finally comeback
To take it’s hourly toll
I can still fight back
My body cries
I already ate so ignore it
It shouldn't need
No, It shouldn't want anything else
Time elapsed
And then it helps me
Fight what’s good for me
A fight that last for hours
Even longer with friends we picked up
We laugh at their stories
Take long walks together
Continue to fight our good fight
Whilst I realize
I've only furthered my plight
In an act of self
Not for preservation
But desperation
I yell
“The enemy was me all along”
Waiting for them to draw
I made sure I wouldn’t fold
But a hand graced me
“It was a truth that was been told”
“But only one that you like to hold”
Those words relay to me
Me, me, me, me
Who were my enemies
Who were my friends
Help me uncover this lens
As I open my eyes
I try to not cry
Surrounded by nothing
I was in an empty apartment
In an empty soul
