Fight to be Free

I cleared my head

And let my body be

I screamed to the world

What do you expect out of me?

*

You've handed me lemons

And I've tried to make lemonade

But yet I keep getting blocked

And my goals are starting to fade

*

I'm lost in the darkness

I don't know which way to turn

I've done what has been asked

Can't you see I am trying to learn

*

I want things to turn around

But there are always rocks in my way

I no longer want to be here

But you keep asking me to stay

*

Giving up seems like defeat

Continuing is so difficult

But I can't give anyone else the blame

When really it is all my fault

*

Actions have consequences

What you do sets a path

The results are predictable

You do the math

*

An action for an action

A head for a head

If you choose the wrong way

It won't be long before your dead

*

When given the choice

Which way do you go

Taking the wrong way

You end up with a tag on your toe

*

Choose correctly

And you will see

I won't be around

Because you left without me

*

I seem to be stuck

In this situation non grada

When I am desperately in need

I always get nada

*

I seek a new way

I'm trying to get out

I know I sound desperate

I really don't mean to pout

*

I want you to lead me

Please show me the way

I want out of the darkness

I want you to stay

*

I need that knight in shining armor

I want someone to rescue me

I am stuck in the darkness

Yet I just want to be set free

*

So here I sit, clearing my head

Screaming at the world to let me be

A fight to be dead

Or a fight to be free
