Feeling of abandonment by family
[Introduction]
Arms of Family

Get off my back you thieves
Give me back my life
The right to be my every possibility

Judgement screams at me,
Encasing me in its vile trickery
Empowering the guilt which strangles my creativity

Their unrelenting appetite for power devourers my energy
I struggle to be free of expectations that rob me of my peace
Forever trying to unbind myself from their needs

Unnoticed fury and silent screams lay barren
Discarded beneath this dominion of dexterity
Unseen dreams haunt me

I now decree to leave you be
Turn from this tomb of family
Embrace the loss of a place that was only ever a fantasy

I will never be in the arms of a family.
