Something I've been feeling lately. I won't tear my dress apart though. Hopefully! :P


Breaking free

I've been suffocated for so long,
Following what was taught,
What was right and wrong,
I can't decide,
Whether I want to float,
Or whether I want to drown.

Try to smile so much,
While in my heart I frown,
I've lived my life,
As Miss Prim and Proper,
For once I want to dance,
To the gypsy's song.

I've been wanting, craving,
To break free all along,
I want to throw away these heels,
And soak my feet into the dirt,
For that I long.

I want to tear away this dress,
And jump out naked,
As free as a bird,
And hum along to their soulful song.

I want to touch and feel,
Something exciting,
Something right,
I want to breathe in fresh air,
Not tarnished,
By any society's lies.

I want to make mistakes,
And not be judged,
For who I am.

I want to run away,
To a far-away land,
Away from my life,
That's become a sham.

I want these scars inside,
To have a chance at healing,
In the soothing sun.

I want to break away,
I want to have,
Some of my own little fun.
