| Restrained Starting a new day Still bound by old pain Struggling just to smile While playing life�s stupid little games No one else seems to understand Few seem to even care But no one really listens Those who pretend to listen Do so only to prove that My problems aren�t as bad as theirs When does the cycle end? And how can I break these chains The consistent negative influence of those around me The filth and selfishness That consumes their soul Just one day out of this Hell Would free my spirit forever.
