"A Day to be Free"

So I'm not listening to hear no.

You tell me."in on ear; out the other it goes."

I'm on a mission to break your spell 

put in motion a long time ago

into a mind which could not envision

I could beat the odds if I escape your prison.

You'd call me broken

when I had no idea how to fix it

but I had to detach myself from reality;

sometimes those too close insert themselves in our present 

as if the future's just a shared investment of the past.

Those who cloud our dreams are those who someday make us

in the face of fear yet love and devotion run free.

Only you can be a distraction

if I acknowledge you, you - yes you.

This song and dance loses its rhythm

and to you my madness has no rhyme.

To some a dream is just too precious

but this life yearning to be someday free

won't be built on a memory

as if it were a keepsake to be looked on fondly. 

There's no better connection broken

than the one you lose 

wen you no longer acquiesce 

to all the appeals to reasons and grumbled objections.

knowing it's that someday to be free and heal those wounds.
