How I long to be totally free
from the mortal restraints that contain me
to exist in a realm where I can just BE...
On my own.
Void of restrictions of where to go or stay
there's only one life for me to live anyway
never again enslaved by constant disarray...
On my own.
To be no more viewed under eyes of scrutiny
to listen to a new song than that of misery's symphony
to escape the reign of tyranny
to break the chains of lack and poverty...
On my own.
My eyes are blinded by the condescending sight
Too long this darkness has consumed...I yearn for the light
yet this battle is mine alone, and I must win the fight...
On my own.
Some say it's not all it's cracked up to be
I know that much, trust me...I can see
yet I'd rather independence than to be dependent...and silently bleed.
On my own.
The pain so deep, it cuts like a knife
under the venom of heartache and strife
the only antidote is to acquire a LIFE...
On my own.
A life of peace, stability, purpose, prosperity.
To be King of my domain...with the Queen also at the ready.
A land overflowing with milk and honey...
Hm...Milk and honey... ;)
On my own.
My words may seem selfish... they may as well be so
There's a popular saying these days;
"He who FEELS it, KNOWS"
So if this is too much for you or not so cute, feel free to help yourself to the end of my boot
or better yet, make like the wind and...well you know.
On my own.
How I long to live uncensored. Unadulterated. Free.
From the mortal restraints that contain me
One thing remains absolute...sooner or later...slowly but surely...I WILL BE.
On. My. Own.
