What have I done thus far?
With travels around the world,
a top grade education,
while coming from a wonderful nation.
I have pride,
dignity,
and above all, honor.
That is what I'll say,
but is that what I display?
I live like a child,
off the gains of others,
begging for more,
like babe scream at their mothers.
I have a false sense of security,
with a feeling of purity,
I cover up my insecurities,
with humanitarian obscurities.
Inclined to take what I can get,
but complain when I must break a sweat,
but I am truly in the world's debt,
and I still have a chance to be the world's vet.

Do not let me fall down into this well,
please do not let me fall,
gain the strength to save me.
Come and release me from this cell,
smash away at this wall,
come and set me free.
Please get me out of this hell,
I have been brought down to a crawl,
listen please, to my plea.
No one is able to hear me yell,
It may be my fault they did not hear the call,
or maybe I was left cast out at sea.

I do not want to wake up seeing what I see,
the shivers down my spine,
the fear within my heart.
I cower at the thought of being free,
when the stars will align,
when I must play my part.
I do not know of who I will be,
will I shine,
or will I trip at the start.
I must step out this door and flee,
released from this confine,
I must make life art.

Caught,
like a fish,
cut the cord,
or my throat.
Release me into the wild,
or be wild,
and spill my guts out.

There is more to me I am sure,
I could be an astronaut,
or a politician,
I just need to get motivation.
I have more heart and soul,
it is just buried down there,
but I am digging a hole,
I have the stuff I just got to get it,
it may be hidden,
but not forbidden.
There is more to me I am sure,
it is just a matter of finding it,
I did lose it, I admit.
There is more to me I am sure,
but finding it does not make me secure,
so I will leave it be..
And endure.

Lie to me and say you love me,
tell me how I fill your heart,
how I was the one to give it a kick-start
Lie to me and say you love me,
tell me how I saved your soul,
how I set fire to the coal.
Lie to me and say that you love me,
even when I was far away,
you would never wander and play.
Lie to me and say that you love me,
tell me that I make your heart ache,
as you try to hide your mistake.

Release me like a bird from the branch,
close your eyes,
and imagine me flying away.
But when you open them; watch me plummet.
I flap my wings as hard as I can,
only to break them once I land.
Looking down at me you stare,
then turn your back without a care.
