set me free
inside my mind I am but a prisoner,
enslaved to my thoughts,
even in a library its loud,
yet here I sit,
wishing to escape from my mind,
even if only for a moment,
I wish for silence.
inside my mind i am but a prisoner,
these intrusive thoughts pierce my skull,
i've already given in.
inside my mind i am but a prisoner,
shacked to the wall by my imperfections,
and caged by insecurities.
inside my mind I am but a prisoner,
trapped by expectations,
and decisions.
inside my mind I am but a prisoner,
set me free.
set me free of this body,
this mind,
these insecurities,
these imperfections.
