there is this energy that
flows from within
there is this volition thats
constantly suppressed
the ability to connect
to live and love without regret
exists inside the self before
barriers obscure it
take back all the creativity that
was born inside you
subdued by artificial means
bondage that bites into
our weak flesh
sedatives to tranquilize
drain the meaning
from our lives
a theft, a self imposed sentence
doomed to watch
deprived of passion

we cannot stand idly by
as the years are drained
from our lives
real truth and
interaction are obscured
by false pretense
do you think that you are free?
is that really what you believe?
can you see out past the blinds
placed on your perception?

there is no way not to notice
those whose eyes are dull and lifeless

dont let numbness
replace your spirit
dont live in fear of
the gifts youve been given
we can never exist fully
underneath chemical repression
