The rabbit in the cage
is craving to be free
but I haven't got the key

I feel the same
I long for space
I wish to run

But unlike the rabbit, I can
So why do I stay
When I could run away

Why does the birds remain
When it can leave without pain
Or so I ask myself

But in reality
I could do the same
So why do I stay

I will explore the Earth.
Ascend the cliffs, descend the seas.
Travel with the sun to the west,
continuing to the east.
Flee heat to the arctics,
follow to the tropics.
I'll run in the deserts,
jump into the oceans.
I'll run in the jungles,
and dive into the skies.
Disappear from home
to appear in the wild.
To see, to hear.
To smell, to taste.
To feel, to live.
I will explore the Earth.

Am I really trapped, or is it a prison of my mind?
I try to run, but my body stops moving.
My mind wanders across the planet,
I can sense the vast wilderness.
A need to experience it all comes over me.
Yet I stay imprisoned here.
Caught in a cage forged by force.
Too strong for me to break,
too small for me to ignore.
It is what I want, but so far I can't.
Unsuccessful; I punish myself.
In vain, I try, I push, I pull,
but my brain beats my brawns.
I'm stuck, entrapped.
If I had the strength, I'd tear apart the shackles,
the shackles that keep me locked away.
If i had the courage, I'd break off the chains,
I would explore the Earth.
Ascend the cliffs, descend the seas.
Travel with the sun to the west,
continuing to the east.
Flee heat to the arctics,
follow to the tropics.
I'd run in the deserts,
jump into the oceans.
I'd run in the jungles,
and dive into the skies.
Disappear from my grave
and appear in the world.
To see, to hear.
To smell, to taste.
To feel, to live.
Never again in fear.

You used to carry me
You used to be my saviour
What I was to you
I will never know
What you saw in me
I'll never understand
But where are you now
I cannot find you

Where did you go
I miss you still
When will you return
You said you'd never leave
I promised I'd never let go
And now that you're gone
I hang on, I try to stay strong
I'm at a loss, what have I done

You held me up, but I fell
Cause I pushed you away
I lie here in misery
Reminiscing your smell
Remembering your eyes
The deep sea in which I was lost
Now forever gone
Now gone

Take out the trash
and ponder
A typical day
in gravitational pull

We use time
surprisingly more now
Than any other time
in history

Every week
there's a new internet
But nobody invents anything
a genius is an intellectual scavenger

As long as
there is Open Road
The familiar has
**the most formidable competetitor

I hear I have freedom
They say I have a lot of time
And that I have love

But I do not see it
I do not know it
And I cannot feel it

Decades will pass
Before I understand
And then it will be too late

The soul reapers take until there's nothing left,
walking by like hollow vessels.
All expressions far too faded,
endlessly wandering with no meaning.
Long gone are feelings of remorse and sympathy,
now only gestures with no sincerety.
Corpses lie empty on the ground,
so grey, soon abandoned by all color in the skin.
Reapers walking by devoid of empathy,
reavealing their indifference and disdain.
Their minds are breeding lies,
creating the venom their tongues are spitting.

Late at night I sat in the dark
Was about to face the bed
When I got a bad feeling
Something wasn't right
But I quenched the terror
And faced the bed

Just two hours gone by
I stare at the ceiling
No longer night
But not yet day
Sickness overwhelms me
As I stare at the ceiling

How can such a day improve
When nothing started right
But as day closes in
The darkness dissolves
Dare I get hopeful
When nothing started right

The dark winter not yet forgotten
A stream of light flows through
Lurking in the twilight
Awaiting it's return
Is the darkness of yesterday
But now light flows through

The dawn of day now passed
My restless leg bouncing
He educates the class
My head seems clear
Sickness long gone
As I feel my restless leg bouncing

Is my leg betraying me
Is it trying to escape
Find a place of true freedom
If such a place exists
What is it telling me
By trying to escape

It's been a while
Since I've felt this well
The sickness of morning gone
My head is clear, I'm calm
I'm focused, I'm at peace
I've never felt this well

Despite the rough beginning
Daybreak turned the tides
Winter cold still recides
But the sun is shining
Cascading light, beams of heat
The tides turned by daybreak

My leg convulses
What does it want
If I flex my muscles
I can keep control
Keep it from escaping
But is it what I want

Where would it venture
If I let it escape
Would I be welcome
As the partner in crime
Or would I weigh it down
If it escaped

I feel in doubt
Should I let it run
Should I make it stay
Remain in control
Or let it be free
Should I let it run
