This is like a leash
And I am the barking dog
Crying silently to be free
This is like a leash
And I am the shepard on the string
This is my word, my duty-
Or is it false honor?
Is this my crackling pride-
This is like a leash
Opportunity beckons
But it chokes this dog’s bark
So he sits in the hidden corner
Of the chaos of his heart
This is like a leash
And I am like a man
I made this commitment
My word, like chains, binds me
My heart, like rabies, blinds me
This is like a leash
And I am more of a prisoner
But will choose to smile
And wag my tail
For her
Who holds the string.
