I am trapped my heart isn't free
Arrested by conformity
I've obeyed society's scream
to follow their rules and abandon my dreams
I've jailed my spirit and thrown out the key
I've been blind, why couldn't I see
that their constraints are killing me,
that falling in line ain't what it seems.
I am trapped.
I want to escape, I want to breathe.
I want to make art and write poetry.
I want to live life, drink deep from it's streams,
and harken to my souls primeval scream.
Will it happen? Someday. Maybe.
I am trapped.
