Unleashed

*(2nd poem entry)* The sound of chains resonates in my ears As berating opinions drown the voices inside, Unfathomed mysteries, blurred predestinations, and fears The impenetrable wall in sight, what lies there behind? I tried spreading my now weak wings But the net awaiting to ensnare lies ahead I forced myseld through hoping to ease my sufferings But I ended up being controlled, carried away and dead. The world dictating who I am supposed to be And the strings connected to my very soul and destiny Sends a surge of uncertainty of who I should be And questions, crushes my entire identity. Realization struck when I merged into the crowd As the world does its best to make me forget Identity was not lost, and I did stand out So I engaged in a mighty battle and aiming the target. And so I undid the manipulation and regained consciousness Not doing my own thing, but doing the right thing on my own No more world that is moulding me into something else All that's left is moulding me to be able to stand alone.
