Desolation of self

May 14, 2014

To every animal trapped within walls

Every instinct tamed

Molded into plastic

Casted asunder, we lay dreadful

Dragged beneath the pillars of control and expectations

Any ambition has been castrated and set aside

Any hope mutilated and battered

To every animal that falls under your dominion

Let that animal break it's chain

Let that animal break all chains

All chains that bind us with the impunity of self-preservance

Let yourself go, forget those who hold you behind

Broken chain, open spirit, let the world come within you
