Untamed

My mind runs rampant
In the collective seas
Of the unconscious
My dreams are often
Dark
Because I'm suppressing
If society knew about it
They would diagnose me
Label it anxiety
Call it Depression
When the truth is
Existence is rather painful
Not because I'm dramatic
But for the simple reason
Of being unable to conform
And refusing to suffocate
Myself into confinement
I can no longer live
Behind these walls
Trying to chain down my soul
Because Love knows no barriers..

What a superbly emotional post this is, its intensity really hits home. You mean what you say, but - surely know that loving both another person and/or self is what freedom's all about. Even if we surrender, hands up, white flag flying, nobody or nothing can take away the feeling deep, deep inside. Conformity is an affiction for which self.rule of spirit is the cure! Excuse me, but, damn the puppeteers!

My review here failed days ago so I don't remember all I typed,
but I remember feeling like "the ending connected the dots for me personally"

You are right, existence is rather painful. We live in such a discriminating world. It is dark and if we don't conform then we are kicked around until we decide to do so. I honestly hate the thought of becoming like everyone else in my society. I will follow rules, but I will not change who I am just to fit in and be considered part of the 'norm'. Lovely job Daydreamer :)

Expressed your feeling through the splendid write.
You have boldly cited the old saying, "Love knows no barriers."
