I'm locked away without a key to set me free
Imprisoned in this body that's
Covered in scars and bruises
Mentally tired and chained to these fears
Fears of denial
Fears of life
Fears of self doubt
Stuck in this cage of twisted feelings
With no freedom to fly
I began to lose myself
My twisted feelings, twisted thoughts
And fears become reality
A reality I fear to face
And feeling trapped in
A damaged mind
Unable to take control
To stand firm and let go
Imprisoned in this body that's
Covered in scars and bruises
Mentally tired and chained to these fears
Fears of denial
Fears of life
Fears of self doubt
Stuck in this cage of twisted feelings
With no freedom to fly
I began to lose myself
My twisted feelings, twisted thoughts
And fears become reality
A reality I fear to face
And feeling trapped in
A damaged mind
Unable to take control
To stand firm and let go

The old saying: ''there is nothing to fear but fear itself''..............said me, the biggest chicken of all (!)

Scars, seen and unseen
They leave in their wake
A body shattered
A mind in tatters
There's never an outlet
For a tormented soul
An endless scream for release
Take this shit
And leave me in peace
No way, no how
No light, no power
Can take this pain away
Where, oh where
Is MY damm happy place...
With all my heart,
My wish for you
Golden clouds
Silver linnings
Come calling
Shrouding you
In the
Love n peace
You long to find
Stay strong, stay safe Debdeb
💜💜💜💜 🙏🙏🤗

Life can make you feel that way. And also the way things are right now with the world. I truly understand what you mean.

I can't help but remember these lyrics looking at this:
"Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key"
"Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key"

Very well penned and expressed the imprisonment we find ourselves in and the jailer is our own mental state. Truly hope you have the resources to help you cope. You are worthy of a key and a pardon.
