You


Eating me inside and out 

I cry for relief

I cry to be let go 

Set me free I beg on my knees

Screech a painful cry 

Eating me alive, nothing can compare to the pain I feel inside 

 

To be let go 

and finial be free 

Unbound these chains, these chains that hold me back from reaching my potential 

Let me set myself apart from the rest and shine brightly to showcase beautiful talents that I have been given 

Stop holding me back 

Stop preventing me from reaching my full potential

For you are me and I am you and the only thing holding me back is you
