So inviting.
So new, so intriguing, so beautifully exciting.
I cannot lie, compromise these dreams,

I’m caught on conscience, caught on morality,
Caught by everything that is expected of me.
That one little bite has left me addicted,
Im sick of this normalness,
Which has trapped me in this.
I want to break away,
Defy your gravity,
Run to the horizon and jump into the sunset:
Free to fly and free to fall,
Its up to me what I make of it all.
Where I go and who I see,
Now try and conform me, when I’m nowhere to be seen.

The Forbidden Thing

These forbidden things,
So inviting.
So new, so intriguing, so beautifully exciting.
I cannot lie, compromise these dreams,
What I want, is as ever, just out of reach.
I’m caught on conscience, caught on morality,
Caught by everything that is expected of me.
That one little bite has left me addicted,
Im sick of this normalness,
Which has trapped me in this.
I want to break away,
Defy your gravity,
Run to the horizon and jump into the sunset:
Free to fly and free to fall,
Its up to me what I make of it all.
Where I go and who I see,
Now try and conform me, when I’m nowhere to be seen.

Brilliant! Defiant, raw and strong minded even with this lack of control you seem to be feeling. I was highly anticipating new work from you and you definitely didn't disappoint. I love all the imagery and emotions in this poem and it's all very familiar. Really beautiful lines include: 'Defy your gravity' and 'Jump into the sunset'
Thank u 4 sharing babe
Love u 2 bits xxxxxxx
