Four Walls

Get me out of here

I want to get out of here

I want to go somewhere where it’s clear

Blue skies

Beach vibes

Dark shades

Red lips

Peaches

No reason to fly

Afraid of heights

Way too good to be true

Way too real to be false

My past had me searching for those faults

Aren’t we all looking for what would remind us of home or how home should be

Defined by those four walls in our minds we weave

Trust and belief

Twists and turns made us believe

Finding that bittersweet release

Wanting to break free

The heart mimics our complex labyrinth

Conditioned mechanism of endless refinement

Suppressing emotions into solitary confinement

Blindly paints perfection on a virtual canvas

Let go of what doesn’t exist

To find a temporary fix

Sweet apple I tried to restrict

But, I’m hypnotized

Mesmerized

Not health conscious, when my health was on the line

Life froze in time

Lifeline not in reach

Under a sheet of ice, I’m banging, trying to breach

Scrunching the pain

Building my strength

Lost in the sea of distorted limbo

I’ve become my own superhero
