Trapped

Just something I wrote a little while ago, I just reread it and thought it wasn't terrible. That and the fact I haven't posted in awhile, I decided to just go ahead and fling it on up here.

The tears, the fights, and the screams echo all around

Everywhere I go, nothing but lies

And in the middle of this storm here I am found

I’m tired of all the pain and the cries

Unlatch the cage, let me fly

Please unclip these bounded wings

And throw me into the sky

Let me soar and let me sing

There in the darkness, alone with my thoughts

I’m lost and I’m not getting out

With these twisted mazes that have no end

Grab my hand, lead me through, all these dreams of you

So child, grab a light and follow me

There’s only so much you can suffer

Before it all breaks and you’re free

With lovely eyes you’ll watch it shatter

Hang in there sweetheart, soon you’ll be flying

Away from this smothering life

I’d remember that when you are crying

Free from the chaos and the strife

In that numbing blackness, what’s to find?

A reason, a purpose, a world of your own?

Follow your heart, listen to your mind

Maybe by then you won’t be alone.
