Free

The tale of life written upon only one page
And one hundred diaries of dreams
Poems and deep wishes shining bright through the prism of love and rage
All the turmoil of feelings within

Words left numb
Every feel, every teardrop within
Stays numb
As the wave of fear rises high
They say you are free
But any heedless word could kill
Any move, any glance, any sigh
Could be the last at once

Faded to grey reality of everyday
Everything seems everlasting and just the same
One smile brightens the world for a while
Sound of dear voice gives colours to life

Their broken promises of freedom
Break you down
Their rotten mouths speak another lies
Drawing nightmares through every night
Rights mean nothing
You are never free
Crying alone, shivering from fear
Hoping to see the light again
And let all the pain slip away

One smile could revive a broken heart
Dear voice brings back the light
I wish to see this dream to come true
To meet you…
