some of the inspiration came from the Linkin Park song, Somewhere I Belong...

Somewhere I Belong


I’m surrounded by it
This...animosity
A dark haze that emanates from me
An impulse I find myself giving into more often than not
What’s the point of resisting?
It’s what I want after all...

I can’t stand these people with me
I wish nothing more than to escape them
But no matter how much I try to get away
They reach for my chains and yank me back
The only way to escape them is to conform
But to conform is suicide
Having to submit to them being torture in and of itself
For their will is to keep me from being myself, it seems

It’s not as if I know no boundaries
But their mistrust of everyone keeps them from seeing
That I’m not a little girl anymore so the old rules don’t apply
That freedom is almost required for this stage in life
That her vice grip on me will only allow me to slip through her fingers

They don’t understand that I need to get away from them
The atmosphere around them is poisonous
And I, being the oddball of the group, am the only one repulsed by it
Yet each time I break for air, they pull me back under its influence
Nonetheless, with each breath I take of their toxin, something else fills my lungs
Rebellion
The urge to overthrow my oppressors as so many others have
So instead of suppressing me, they only fuel me
Give me what is needed to rid myself of them

I need somewhere else besides this hellhole of a house
A house, for it is no home to me
A home doesn’t have to endure constant hate between the occupants
I need somewhere I don’t have to worry about keeping my anger in check
Because I don’t have any anger to check
Somewhere I don’t feel out of place
The somewhere that I belong

I like this. It has a very deep self reflecting tone to it but at the same time holding a very rebellious, anti conformity tone. Good write


Peace

Life is a torment and torment an enigma. So burn the shackles of slavery and let love run free
