There is something
Stopping me from
Saying the words
That riot in my mind
There is something
Holding my arms back
When I want to break free
And run towards the light
There is something
Preventing my heart
From expressing
From dreaming
There is something
Raining on my spirits
Dampening my strive
For happiness and purpose
This is something
Keeping me safe
Keeping me silent
Keeping me.
