Prisoner

I'm a prisoner...
I'm a prisoner imprisoned by people's expectations of me

How can they not see
That I don't want to be
What they think of me

I'm stuck...
I'm stuck here trying
But I'm utterly failing
And now I'm slowly breaking

How can they not see
That here I am trying to be
What they think of me

I'm in a battle...
Choking on my words
Tripping on my promises
Held down by mistakes

I stop fighting and it hits me
That I will never be
What the people think of me

I'm liberated...
I'm liberated and I was the one who set myself free
I'm no longer bound
No longer held

Because...what good is it to be
What the people think of me
If I can't be what I think of me?
