Trying to wave, Not drown

Too wild to be tamed, the tiger inside me roared

I, longed, yearned, craved the ultimate freedom

The unattainable paradise they named
Peace

It was inevitable, some exclaimed

Inadequate, others whispered

Overrated, they complained

But, see, it’s not what others say

That makes you hide away

To get to a point of

Constant displeasure, constant distress

Yelling and Screaming

Till you realise

Your life’s a mess

It’s that self discovery

Plunging into the jungle of your heart

Trying to find what

made you like this from the start

So chained, so bound, so fettered
