Hold Me Bound

I see her in the dusk

In the space between stars

A girl who roams free and

Isn’t held behind bars.

I long to be unbound

And to walk in her shoes;

To take a day for me

And finally just choose.

I strive to be that girl,

But I can’t move from here

Like there’s something holding

Me back; though, my path is clear.

I reach out my hand and

Brush the last breaths of night

As the sun begins to rise

That girl is drowned in the light.

I finally see why

I don’t chase that girl down:

Because the presumptions

Of my family hold me bound.
