Entrapment

I belong to the air

So don’t you dare

Try to trap me within the confinement of your need

Throwing out a rope

That I will end up hanging myself with

I am sure that it can only be true

That forces of nature protect my soul

From that which means to do me harm

And if it seems as though I am alarmed

It’s only because you tried to tether me tightly

To a place I was not made for

A place I can only strangle inside

Entrapment becomes the mindscape I end up living inside

When the dreams I dream are no longer mine

I finally see the ransom

I sold my soul for

And that my mistake

Was in searching for a love out there

When really if love is ever to come to me

Isnt it just a case of magnetic attraction?

 I can no longer handle the distraction

This heavy world you confine me to live inside

With all its oughts and should

Here I struggle to breathe

Because there is no space

For me to keep moving

Creating spun silver out of past suffering

Using the struggle to free myself from this chrysalis

And finally experience my soul as free
