Free Me

Free Me

Salty cheeks, eyes were drowning,
Couldn't stare at life's grin while I was frowning.
The eye of the storm rattled deep in my chest,
Another one of life's cruel, wagering tests.

Blood was boiling, thoughts were on fire,
lost part of myself I used to admire.
Strike me lightning, jolt me into the living,
Anything to get my passion to resume breathing.

Take me from now, drop me off into back then
I want to curl up with stability again.
Naivety my shield, bliss was my mask,
now exposed to reality's thumb tacks.

Lava in my veins, laced well with the antidote,
Can't reach me yet, my fears built around me a moat.
Touch me dear sanity, I long for your fingers,
Hack away this brush in which my sourness lingers.

Parasitic pain, you nestle in my bitterness
Free me from your grasp, release me from this jitteriness.
Facing it once again, my inner tug-o-war,
Only a matter of time, before my weakness will roar.
