Sing

I find myself limited, restrained

I start looking around to see who I can blame

But no one’s there; just me. How could it be?

I put myself in a box and threw away the key

I live my life trying to break free

From the imaginings and myths of normalcy

Trying to reconcile and circumvent the very thought

That I am here by choice; it’s my own fault

I glance past the wall that I built with care

And I dance around the corner; do I dare

I shout out loud and burst into song

Off key and out of tune; you should sing along

I am happy to sing with you ‘til you find your voice

It’s not about the sound but hearing without noise

Break down that wall; remove the façade

Encore, encore; your heart applauds

Now there you’ve got it, just give it a go

Invigorating, empowering; more than you know

There is only one thing that you must do

Pass the song along to someone like you
