I don't know how
To fill the gap
I'm sitting here
In your lap.
Will someone show me?
Draw me the map.
Like tree sap
We melt and stick
The walls between us
Feel so thick.
It's not your fault
And it isn't mine.
They dragged us apart.
Deliberately this time.
I hear the wind chime
Clatter in the dark.
I remember the night
I wanted to spend with you
In the park..
Everything was perfect
Until they took it away.
They always ruin everything
Without fail
Or delay.
Trying to mold my life
Like clay.
It doesn't work.
It's not that easy to move me.
You want to change me
But I won't
You think I lie to you
But I don't.
You'll quickly find
I'm not as simple
Or breakable
As you might have thought.
I am not someone who can
Be bought.
You try to smash me
Like a ceramic pot.
But the person I really am
You haven't yet got.
I've opened up
But you are blind.
Maybe you just won't look..
Are you scared what you'll find?
But be who you are
To yourself I know you're
Confined.
And the stupidity you've been given
Will always be your bind.
But regardless of this
My life will shine.
I've left your world
So you no longer have control
Of the blinds.
You can't block me out anymore.
I'm now free to grow away.
Grow my way.
Be me.
Show who I really want everyone
To see.
Not stunted by the darkness you
Cast.
My sunlight; free at last.
Now you're just a thing of the past.
I leave you to rot
A meaningless body of mass.
