Unbinding Mental Slavery
I wanna act like you're gonna understand what I'm trying to say and relate
But truth is empathy seems to be dying, wasting, and endangered
We're all facing different demons
No one to go to
My mind pulsing with thoughts
Alone with no distractions, I am left with silence
Silence kills, there's no escaping myself
I can't seem to get these worries, burdens, memories, troubles out of my head
I try to extinguish the flame, I breathe in positive thoughts only to be quickly exhaled
I never felt like there was someone who would listen, empathize, repair
How can you repair someone so deeply rooted in hurt and pain
Masked with smiles and temporary happiness
I can spot someone doing the same
I notice it all around me, I see more and more people each day fighting, surviving
Finding reasons to keep going
I want to help
I want better for others
Reduce their pain, listen to their thoughts, slowly repair
Prevent someone from feeling the way I do
I want to be that person someone can go to
If I could get that chance to sit in that chair with you
Help you get over your fears, troubles, and habits
If I could stop what's racing through your mind
Slow it down to one moment that is now
I could, I would, and I will
I will get there
I will be in that chair with you
Because I know what it's like
Empathy is still alive
