Everyday I awake In my cell Four walls Glittering bars Holding me inside The cell, ephemeral the bars, transient the lock, insubstantial The guard simply stares No matter what I do I remain in my cell i may leave home I remain in my cell What can I do? I rail against the bars That I could walk through I pull on the door in frustration That I could just push open i swear at the guard That would watch me leave And not care Why am I allowing myself To be trapped here? Why am I so... Afraid.

Fear
Everyday I awake In my cell Four walls Glittering bars Holding me inside The cell, ephemeral the bars, transient the lock, insubstantial The guard simply stares No matter what I do I remain in my cell i may leave home I remain in my cell What can I do? I rail against the bars That I could walk through I pull on the door in frustration That I could just push open i swear at the guard That would watch me leave And not care Why am I allowing myself To be trapped here? Why am I so... Afraid.
I'm kinda stuck in life right now, and I hate it. Time will eventually free me, but I have to be patient.
