Let Me Go

I'm hurt
By all this controlling and judging
If I want to do something
Why can't I?
Why do I have to be stopped?
I want to work on myself
Barriers here and there
Give me space and freedom
Let me run wild and free
Let me experience all of this
Let me get hurt
From life and not from you
It's ok
I will get somewhere
It's better to make mistakes, get hurt, be emabrassed
Do you know why?
Would you rather experience rather than lie awake and imagine
Dream about what it would have been like
I don't want this life
I want an escape
I want to go
I want to go
Here, there, everywhere

I won't stand long with you
I won't stand long with your barriers
I won't stand long with your control
Protect me, sure why not?
Want me to be happy?
Let me go!
Let me be!
It's scarey out there, I know!
I can see
But tie me up even more
And I will run further
I will fight harder
I will cry rivers
Maybe even my heart will cry
Because you know what?
I am enjoying this freedom
I can breathe!
I can see!
All the beautiful painful things in life
I am not embarassed
I want an escape
I want to go
I want to go
Here, there, everywhere

Please just let me be
Please let me see for myself
I know it's scarey
How did you live your life?
At home too?
Watching tv, eating, dreaming, imagining?
Was it fun?
Should I do this for the rest of my life?
Will you watch me?
Sure, you will see the pain, I promise you.
I want an escape
I want to go
I want to go
Here, there, everywhere
