Unfree

Don’t take too much for granted

My willingness to stand by your side

To brave the king tides

That threaten at times to drown you

Loving you comes naturally to me

But sometimes my love it is so hard

To keep giving and giving

Hoping and hoping

Wishing and wishing

And when I reach that limit

Only to surrender to another dive

It hurts me to hear

That you want to silence me

I cannot live like this

For I am an open book

Some may say its attention seeking or naive

But open honesty just comes so naturally to me

I am not here to obey the rules your ego prescribes

Out of fear

And I cannot keep loving

Endlessly

That that which only makes me feel

Restricted, bound, gagged

Unfree
