Do you ever
Begin to wonder
What there is
That’s out there?

I often do
Because I can’t see
Past the door
Or the glass

The outside
Is hidden from me
Locked up
Here inside

The confines
Built around my mind
Through the years
Won’t open

I can’t pass
The locked up doors
That keep me
Here inside

I don’t want
To stay here any more
What I want
Is to go

To redeem
Myself from this prison
But I can’t
I just can’t

I cannot
Do anything to leave
I have tried
I’ve failed

I’ll not stop
I’ll try the harder
For the fear
Of staying

Here within
Without hope or love
From someone
Else outside.
