It's okay

by Tamsin   Jan 8, 2007


Please don't cry
This life just wasn't for me
I longed to fly
But my wings were clipped
I just wanted to be free

Crushed under the weight of expectation
A life of falling short
I yearned for salvation
I hungered for love
I drowned in pleading thought

I know you don't understand
I'm sorry if you're aching
I needed a hand
Suffocating from life
I couldn't keep on faking

Free from all ties
I no longer need to flee
Free from the lies
I'm finally content
This is where I needed to be...

    The concept and the imagery on first stanza, the way it was written was capitvating, the idea to fly from a suffocating reality. The ending was a lift to the sorrow felt, a resolution, to find peace, it illuminates the prospect of it being possible to break free. Well Done.
