My Own Prison

by gonzales1530

Running away from yourself is not truly running But it is merely being trapped in a never ending world of confusion To be accepted here, loved there, why must I change to for them The cause of change must be made to better ones self not please others To think that to be loves I must be like them , but no! I will not fall to this prison of their judgment I will break these chains Be free from my own worry Who needs them, people to look down on me, to judge me they don’t know me They will never understand me For I will not be my own prison but I will be my own person
