Controlled

Take a little rest

From trying to be the best

From being a dummy to the strings

And being a slave to the things

That have owned you

Telling you what to do

To live the life that society dictates

To be a part of the perfection that it creates

Putting a lid to your head

Keeping the words you wish you said

Shutting your mouth, muting your voice

Leaving you with no choice

But to be one of the sheep in the herd

Instead of being free like a bird

Soaring high above the waves

Away from all the hurts and pain.


Thanks for reading!
