Stifled

They say they’ll open up my mind

Help me learn on my own

But my brain is only stifled

Feels like a lump of stone

 

I feel a large potential

Hidden in my will

I want to grow and develop myself

But my emotions feel so still

 

Sometimes I think the things I believe

Are just some spoon-fed lies

Why when I search within myself

Is it such a damn surprise?

 

They say they’ll open up my mind

But I know nothing of my own

My heart is stuffed with strangers and

Feels like a lump of stone
