Bury me
I'm a cold and angry place,
I'm restless in this grave.
Why do you bury me this way?
Something I do turns you from my face,
Your expectations I've failed to meet.
(I'm not what you told me to be)
But I understand it. You, the whole human race,
All you believe in tests my love
And my faith.
Forgive me for not being content, confined,
I sneak out of this box when I'm not watched.
Cast aspersions, I'll fire at ideals.
Remember I don't have to stay this way, or any way,
It was never about what you wanted.
Throw away the roles,
I'll set a course for the unknown.
Anything is better than being buried this way.
