Curtains


Curtains, i cry in my distress, Curtains.

You lie to me about who i am, you dull the light.

Yet  i can not be tricked for i am certain.

you push people away, with all your might.

 

Your veil is not welcoming nor is it of love

you mean to destroy me and you suceed

I know im not the best, i am no dove.

I know who i am so i will Lead.

 

I am creative, i am an artist

i love to listen to music and be at peace

i like to learn even if im not the smartest 

and i am an engine of invention that will not cease

 

You, curtains, You will not hold me down

i am ready to break free, i am great and tall

my time has come, i will take my crown

your free to go, your free to fall fall
