Caged

I hate it

I hope it is only a phase

This is something i must beat

I wonder if i am strong enough to win

I want to be free

CAGED

I hate it

I hope it is only a phase

It is killing me slowly

I need a quick escape

It must not be delayed

I need space

Space to run and find my hidin place

CAGED

I hate this

I hope this is only a phase

This fence of steel bars

holding me down so hard

I can see the other side

I want to be on the other side

I need to be on the other side

It is true that the grass is not always greener

But not in this case it is different

Dont ask me why

Because i cannot say

I have the keys here in my cell

I can set myself free

But I will not

I can reach for the keys but I dare not

This place is not strange

I've seen it before

Many times over

I did not create it

I found it there

It ties me down like vipers tangled at my feet

I yell but hear no sound

I run but move not an inch

I am a prisoner in my own head

CAGED

You Are Home

The sun smiled at me,
I swear it did,
Felt like a dream.

Had to look again,
Just to be sure.

It still had that grin on.

I wanted a picture to keep,
But how unsure I was;
I could have been dreaming.

I got home feeling airy,
Butterflies in my tummy,
My steps more graceful,
My head up in the clouds.

Something else happened;
Later that night,
The most graceful moon
Whispered to me.

She sang me a song
Of the place I belong
You are home
You are home
Long lost child.
