You cause my pain
A hole in my heart
I wish to be whisked away
You put on a mask
Of kindness and good
Then you stab my gut
And smile as you do
You pretend you don’t see
The hurt in my eyes
My cries for help
Or the tears that fall
Your lies are a web
That suffocates your life
You know what you do
Then you turn a blind eye
Why do you patronize me?
Why do you haunt me so?
Why do you laugh in my face?
Why can’t you simply leave me alone?
I wish to be free of the pain
To be free of you
To live my life
And be myself
Let me go!
Let me break from my bonds!
Cut the chains!
Tear the ropes!
That is all I ever ask
Is for freedom in this life
Freedom for love
And freedom to live my life.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this piece. It’s a bit darker than what you all mostly see from me, but I wrote it a long time ago and felt compelled to do a sort of throw back post. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
-Till next time!
THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL. TIANA, YOU ARE GIFTED.
