Need to Be Free

The Need to Be Free!
Jealous of the butterfly with its simple life,
Being able to soar and do exactly what it likes.
That feeling has been taken away from me
Even though I try to break free.
This gilded cage holds me tight,
I clutch to my life, but all find is night.
Darkness overtaking me,
My life is no longer my own.
Struggling to breath
Struggling to be
Why is it I cannot break free?
Love comes and goes but yet these feelings of loneliness stick,
What am I to do when all I want to do is be free,
Like that lovely butterfly that can be what it wants to be.
When your heart is broken it is hard to fly,
And freedom seem to not be on your side,
Maybe I should just surrender to the want and needs of other,
But somehow I just have a need to be free.
I am jealous of the butterfly that can do what it wants,
But mostly, I am jealous because it is free!
