lost free spirit
a wild spirit, forever free,
never to be tamed.
that is how i started out,
never to be hurt or broken.
the strongest chains couldn't hold me,
i'd fight my way out,
however one day, that all changed.
my wild and free spirited heart
was shackled up that day.
i tried to fight, but couldn't win,
they found a way to break me.
my days of freedon became numbered,
if any even remained.
i longed to run, to fly, to soar,
and watced the stars with yearning eyes.
once again, i tried to break free,
and almost did, but i felt
my heart fall down from my chest,
into the pit of my stomach.
i looked back to see you there,
they'd made you take my place.
i looked ahead, then into your eyes,
and started to turn back.
you were released as i was taken
back into the state i hated.
i gave up all of my old ways
to keep you free and happy.
would you have done the same for me..?
