Breathless Expectations

If you don't like it
...................tear
.......................it
.........................down!

Leave me breathless,
less than sound

Break my heart,
my soul enclose,
leave me with nothing,
but wretched repose.

I cannot walk
for you want me to sit.
My fingers are strumming
still you want me to quit.

I've changed so many times
I have lost that which I was
I've turned myself inside out
to try and please your cause.

I have lost the senses
of all that I once had
I cannot grasp the feelings.
It has driven me quite mad.

For you aren't just a man
or a woman standing there,
you are humanity's spirit
leaving me threadbare.

Yet deep inside this shell you see
Beats a heart that's strong and free
Phoenix like you'll see me rise
Clothed in splendour, touching skies

I am the survivor
...................watch
........................me
..........................grow!
