In my freedom, I walk
through gates thrown
wide open for people
to enter into my life
and enter, they did
—gave me the attention
I so long wished for
until it eats me
from the inside out
In my freedom, I gaze
through landless oceans
of my own doing
I am lost because
I let people build me
a maze called relationship
—and trapped in, I am—
it's been so long since
I last felt how having
my own mind felt like
In my freedom, I gave
pieces of my heart
—even shards of my
own mind—
thinking I help people
get ahead in life
—and help them, I did—
changed myself to fit
the mould I was born to fill
until I forget who I was
before all this started
In my freedom, I lent
until there's nothing left for me
In my freedom, I listened
until my ears bled out
In my freedom, I lived
until my life was not mine
to live anymore
In my freedom, I died
trying to fulfill a need
In my freedom, I lied
until I am screaming for justice
In my freedom, I cired
until freedom returns to the abyss
