Locked box and chains People are freed by rains Though they seem to get wet It’s just they forget What it feels like to feel water on their skin It pours on me so I just let it in And it’s floods and its tears And it’s years and years In a cage of their making But I’m not for the taming As I bite back I don’t want to attack But I feel the fire burn And I begin to learn That keeping it in Only creates hell within I sit behind the curtain And something’s hurting So I glance past The A’s I used to get in class Always determined by someone else Now they dictate my mental health Set up archetypes And ways I fail to be alright Like grades on a paper And he just wants to escape her Though I don’t give it away I just lie to myself anyway And pretend that I can earth the ground As they quench the sound Of my fire burning But the world’s turning And every sun rotates To burn on the line that equates Itself with the midnight I’ve come to know I just pray he does not let go Before I get back to him If I throw the game does he win?
