bound and tied
in
confined spaces I lay
the
world too small
but
smaller are its thoughts
pleasure
they gain
at
nipping your wings
they
haven’t flown
so
how could they allow
that
you be different
and
follow your own path
bound
and tied
in
confined spaces I lay
choking
at
their orthodox thoughts
hard
it is here to breathe
I
wish to break free
I
long to just flee
flutter
my wings
in
those unknown skies
and
follow hued dreams
the
harder you try
to
blend yourself into me
the
harder
shall
I bounce back
ferocious
and fiery
bound
and tied
I
shall now not lay
the
confined spaces
shall
now
no longer contain Me !!
