Break Free
April 11, 2019
Names are given
And we stick by them
We don’t change the way we live
Because it’s tradition
We follow rules
We’ve become jealous
Sensitive
Critical
And caged
We need to change
Need to take off the mask that hides
Strip us of the names
We need to change
But the judgments
The lies
The comforts
That’s what’s hold us back
If only we could break free
Free from the curse
Free from the pain
Free from the limits
Free from the cages
