I can no longer bear the pain.

You have broken my heart without repair,

And there it lies, fallen in despair.

I cannot breathe under your grip,

For my vision swims and blackens.

With no freedom, I’m shackled down

Dragging this burden without a sound.

I beg of you, please enlighten me,

And set the wild bird free.

Let me lilt under the glowing sun

With melodies sweet and wings unbound.
