Hostage
In the beginning
the future was all I saw
giving my life
a true destination
A place that was so far
beyond my reach
still I departed
without hesitation
Never once foreseeing
when the ship set sail
that I'd end up
at the bottom of the sea
lost, alone
and hoping for rescue
amid the wreckage
of fabricated destiny
I've waited so long
to see the magical spirit
that once flew
across the sky
Now a victim
of it's own creation
it has lost
the ability to fly
I climbed atop
the mountain of change
looking at this world
that spans so far
Hope in my heart
reality under my feet
eyes still fixed
upon the stars
Leaping from the edge
I sold for ransom
all I ever was,
and all I could be
In one last
desperate attempt
to release the hostage held
within me
