Yours Not Mine

Shadows, shadows All I see
A combination of light and some little darkness

Locked up, the passions of my heart
Left out, the vision of my mind
Hindered, the motions of my feet

I breathe, but not alive
I move, but not progressing
I laugh, but not happy

I wanna live my dreams
The more I rise, the more I fall
I live not my dreams, I live another’s

Held down by traditions
Pulled back by expectations
Pressed down by customs

Rising out of the ashes
Today, I refuse to be pulled back
Today, I refuse to be boxed up

It’s yours not mine
The dreams I’ve been living
No more, now mine I live
