sheltered

been so safe 

I haven't lived at all

I know you mean well

but could you sometimes

let me fall

you wipe my tears

before I cry

just once could I feel my

pain

just a little

can i die

you made a haven for me

but its all just too easy

cause there's something inside

struggling to survive

my dreams of freedom

dying to fly

something's broken, you can't fix it

its beauty has escaped

I don't want to become the beast

I fight

want to be free to walk in the light

don't want to be your forever

don't want to be this sheltered

Love that smothers is never a positive thing. Somethimes our painful whatever must be felt and dealt with personally.No one can do it for us, our pain is ours to feel and grow from,can't hand off to someone else or ignore it.Just part of our story,not all of it.Live bold, strong, in the raw black and white.A beautiful life emerges when we allow the color to emerge from what had to be.
