Your Rage Kept Me In A Cage

You kept me in a cage; chained and locked.

There was no way out that was not blocked

Kidnapped. Wings strapped. Completely Trapped

Days go by. I still don’t fly

Hope decreased. Would I ever be released?

I won’t let him keep me here. I won’t be controlled by fear

It’s time things are changing. It’s time for uncaging

I fought and felt stripped from the chains that I ripped.

 My wings for so long held down and gripped

 But they could not possibly ever be clipped

I was once in your prison. But from those dwellings i have finally risen.

Thick skin

They say I need thick skin
That I am too weak

But I’ve been through plenty
Maybe this is where I peak

They tell me I need to get tough.

I tell them I just feel too much

You don’t need thick skin
You don’t need to be strong
It’s okay if you’re sad and cry all day long

It’s okay not to be okay
No matter what they might say

I know what I am and need to be
But wearing my heart on my sleeve Is a part of me

I don’t need thick skin
I’m just a body with a sensitive soul within

Ghost

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

I feel you in every panic attack

I feel you when my heart races

I feel you in every palpitation

I feel you when my brain paces

When I’m spiraling out of control

Your ghost surrounds me

And when I’m crying tears that no one can console

Your ghost surrounds me

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

I feel you in every tear

I feel you in every place

I feel you in every fear

I feel you in every thing that awaits

When I’m losing my breath

Your ghost surrounds me

When it feels like the only answer is death

Your ghost surrounds me

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

You’re just a ghost

But I still feel you

He Still Haunts Me

He still haunts me

He can live he can be free

But I am still frozen

Because he still haunts me

He can move on he can forget what he did to me

But I am still frozen

Because he still haunts me

He can run, and jump through life with ease

But I am still frozen

Because he still haunts me

Years have passed and the time has gone swiftly

But I am still frozen

Because he still haunts me

I want to sing I want to fly

A bird is free to fly and roam

A bird can make anywhere their home

I hope to be a bird one day

But for now locked and caged I stay

The birds they sing with joy and freedom

I have no voice, I cant even greet them

I sit alone trapped with out hope

If a bird cannot sing then how can it cope

The days go by and still I am silent

I spend all of my days just keeping quiet

I want to sing I want to fly

I want to be way up high in the sky

Siniging my song to all that can hear

This is my dream, despite what I fear

One day ill make it One day ill sing

One day ill feel the wind under each wing

Footsteps and heart racing

Footsteps and heart racing

The fear I feel when I hear him pacing

He’s angry, he’s mad, he’s looking for me

I’m hiding I’m crying and hoping he won’t see

He finds me, I’m naked, alone and I scream

He grabs me and drags me

He screams words, so cruel so obscene

I cry, I beg and I pray

But he throws me around and Now the grounds where I lay

I try to stay still until I know it’s all clear

While he sits grumbling in his chair drinking his beer
