TETHERED
There are no boundaries or limits
Nothing that can change a stubborn mind
I feel tethered to a cause
I feel obligated to a thought
Yeah, yeah can’t help what the heart wants
But lest we forget the turmoil
Guarded to the point of a comfortable prison
Four walls held together with bars and chains
You made a cold, but secure place
Me, I don’t live the same way
Me, I feel tethered to a belief
Always looking for some unknown truth
Always set out to make a change
But not sure which direction to go
Not sure I ever really had a home
Restless rambler always another road less traveled
Quiet adventurer only ever looking for a place to belong
Me and you, it was us against the world
Me and you had each other’s back
Guess we live by a different creed
One I was willing to explore but you felt nothing
Not one smile could change your mind
Not one pleasant memory was worth your time
That’s ok, it’s not you, it’s me
Strong confident women are not afraid to explore
The wanderer in me is curious indeed
The only struggle is finding that one who also wants a little more
I can be right selfish a lot of the times
But I love passionately
I know no other way
I make mistakes often and make note of where I went wrong
If I do the same thing over and over
Then I only have myself to blame
Always searching for perfection
In all my journeys it has never been found
You were damn near close
But you are tethered by your cause
You feel obligated by your thoughts
I guess it is my own arrogance that is preventing any understanding
My own fear of letting go
My fear of being alone
How can you have thousands that love you
But have no understanding of what makes it all work
I’m tired but know no other way to live
I’m fragile but have a resilient presence
I’ll try anything once
Someday I might even grow up
