Kept from heaven

Kept from heaven
Forced to drown in fire.
Tears cannot put out this flame,
And there is no hope to call upon.
A life lived under hating hands
Is one forbidden to dream,
One plucked of its wings to fly.

Who holds down a dreamer?

Who hates because another loves?

Who cries because a heart is smiling?

Who chains legs that were meant to run?

This one is who,
These within these mutated walls,
A burden belted to the soul of thee.
A burden is all,
Keeping thee from heaven.
