Giving In

I know these things that hide below the surface

Have seen their faces time and time again

Each time they get ever so close to breaking free

Making me who I truly want to be

I restrain myself for self respect

Once had other reason than that

A promise forgotten by the one it was to

Now I see they forgot it too

See they don't care

Why hold back anymore

Nobody will care,

It won't matter

All I have for reason is some silly belief

Some waiting, holding back for the future

But it's pushing with all of its might

Each time something simple happens

I see less and less reason not to just let go

The light that guided me

Has long since faded into darkness

I want freedom

End of restrainment

To be taken somewhere I have never been

Taken to a place I'm not supposed to be

Be free to go where I want,

With who I want,

When I want

Do what I want without being held back

Letting go of my morals for just awhile

Ignoring consequences

It's still beneath the surface screaming to get out

Fighting to be heard,

Drving me to insanity

Unable to keep from going over

My fear of letting go is still hear

Fear of regret in my future for not waiting

For not holding back

But at the moment I see not a reason not to let go

But reason to

Maybe I will figure out what will happen

Whether I will give in to temptation

Or keep from it as all say I shall

Quit giving me competition

Quit giving me reason

All I need is to get it over with

Get it to stop

I only know one way

And that is to give into what I truly want
