I refuse to live inside the box anymore
I refuse to stay within the lines
I refuse to conform
My passions draw me out
While standards pull me in
I will not live by standards anymore
Hollow, bland, unfeeling
I cannot live like that
I will not live like that
I’m tired of pretending to crash into the wall hoping to break through
This time I will
I will break through
Because I’m tired of pretending
I’m tired of stifling passion
She needs to get out
She needs to breath
She needs out so badly it hurts
And it will hurt more
Creation doesn’t come without pain
Expression doesn’t come without pain
Standing alone
doesn’t come
without
pain.
