I Need to Burst Out

Let me out of your car

I screamed at him

let me out of your life

I’ve had enough

you’re driving too fast

I’m spinning and tumbling

afraid to commit

you’re holding my heart

in hands too tight

I’m squeezed beyond recognition

I need to burst out

from controlling grasp

I’m trapped by refusal

to let me be me.

I need to fly freely

I’ll never wing back

my flight goes on

for an eternity

but can’t include you.
