Destroying Myself to be Free

(ahh nothing like a big batch of posts....)

Didn't realize
I couldn't speak my mind
didn't see
the chains over my throat
so used to the weight
pressing down on me

walls of protection
closing in
walls of security
I'm burning within

never realized
I was trapped inside
gotten so used to
living with this doll frame
only mouthing only responding
in ways deemed safe
no wonder this monkey on my back
is beginning to chafe

pressing
burning
chafing
trapped here
pressing
burning
chafing

surrounded by my fears
locked by my mind
designed to protect me
locked by my mind
destroying myself
to be free.
