Free
By,
Amber Campbell

Sometimes I wish I could bleed
So you could all see
What you do to me
I wish my spirit were visible
So you could see the holes
And the burns
From the hurt you put on me
It's like swallowing hot coals
And sometimes I just we you could see
This agony
Inside of me
Then maybe you'd just let me be
Sometimes I wish I could die
So I could fly
Away from this all
And into the sky
Because right here I'm caged
Performing on stage
And pretending to be what I never wanted
I've been dragged around before
And I never asked why for
But this is by far
The worst I've been
You've locked me inside this little pen
I'm choking inside these tiny walls
Closing so tight on me
I wish I could fall
Right through the floor
And find something else
Anything else
Someone keep me from this
I used to be free
I used to have the ability
To do what I need
But now it's all gone
I wonder if I'm
Just imagining it all
So I wish you could see
All this you do to me
Let my insides show out
And perhaps you'd finally
Open the door
And let me be me
