...but I don't have music for it.
Trapped
Trapped behind the pain you won't let go
Because holding on is what you've learned to do
Like a mist around the you that I knew
Which keeps your self outside of public view
Like a gilded curtain behind which you hide
And you, unknowing, you are trapped inside
You're not who you are anymore
But you're not the person wearing your eyes
Deep under her yourself is hiding
In your "I'm Ok" disguise
How long can you stay in there
Before it falls apart
Tears asunder at the seams
And releases your true heart
You just keep moving right on through
Because that is what's expected of you
Like a subdued animal on a chain
Which keeps the world from suffering your pain
Like a wild beast kept in an iron cage
The world, unknowing, building up your rage
You're not who you are anymore
But you're not the person wearing your eyes
Deep under her yourself is hiding
In your "I'm Ok" disguise
How long can you stay in there
Before it falls apart
Tears asunder at the seams
And releases your true heart
Wrapped up in each moment as they go
Because they are the only thing you know
Like straight jacket wrapped around your soul
Which keeps your life under your tight control
Like a horse in blinders, carefully kept
Driven, unknowing, through your own gauntlet
You're not who you are anymore
But you're not the person wearing your eyes
Deep under her yourself is hiding
In your "I'm Ok" disguise
How long can you stay in there
Before it falls apart
Tears asunder at the seams
And releases your true heart

You just keep moving right on through.........
Because that is what's expected of you
Wrapped up in each moment as they go
Because they are the only thing you know

Wow, uh, yeah, gots to have that tight control doesn't one?
Surely put this down absolutely perfect you did indeed,
You truly wrote this, and I have often told others they're never alone, absolutely known it myself, but as to this I had no idea. Thought one of my wierdness, guess it still is, but others too. Thaat in itself helps perspective, for several of my lives now I have let this happen. Enough to where I recognize it at the earliest stage for exactly what is going on with me and what comes next, just time frame always different is all for how long you got before you do break. Now that I am clear what's going on, why, and what will happen next inevitably still don't have a clue why I still do. Perhaps it 's that control of my life thing, don't know. The only hope I dare have is that since I have come so far as to recognize in me, that I will also have come as far as to know not to ever allow such to begin again for, just too dang old.......
Music. Yes, songs. These have saved my life so many times for so very long, the
1960's I guess, that and escape through reading and go into where ever is described therein. And poetry. The words of the songs so very often, when taken chunk by chunk and recited with emotion of one who really feels those words, so very often the most beautiful poetry as it touches the soul and soothes the heart. This is yet another to me that is beautiful poetry and I know will be your song. Hope you are having some luck with the music Hannah............
