Overwhelm


I feel these four walls closing in
Face up against the glass
I'm looking out
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
There's greener pastures I'm thinking about
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but not feel scared
Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind, I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses
Run with the wild horses
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bareback, carefree
Along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first, head-long
Without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence

I wanna break free

This song was written for me. Every word, stanza, every meaning it wants to put across is the exact reflection of what I'm feeling now. And it means extra special because I always had a thing for horses. I was born in the year of the Horse. Hee haw.
There's a certain longing, a certain feeling within me that I badly want to put my finger on, but I just don't know what it is. Am I struggling to get out of this rut? Sick of this routine that has become so unfamiliar? Or am I waiting, just waiting for nothing in particular, but for something to happen. Or tired of having to plan for this and that, calculate GPAs, tired of worrying what will happen to me in the future. I'm scared.

Ahh the song is really what I'm feeling now.
