I am trapped, I can't nap. I would like to fly, Up in the sky, With the birds, Or in a herd, Of sly gazelle, Who cannot tell, If their blank cell, Is crafted by their jailer, Or if they are the tailor. The smell engulfing, I want to die, I cannot breathe, Or think, Or stand, Or sit, Or lie. I am trapped, In my body, And my mind. I feel as if, We will never arrive. If I die before the end, And others live on, To journey on, Until the adventure ends, Which then is the true end, To an ambling existence? Which side shall I awake upon? A mortal march towards death, Or an immortal stroll through eternity?

I am trapped, I can't nap. I would like to fly, Up in the sky, With the birds, Or in a herd, Of sly gazelle, Who cannot tell, If their blank cell, Is crafted by their jailer, Or if they are the tailor. The smell engulfing, I want to die, I cannot breathe, Or think, Or stand, Or sit, Or lie. I am trapped, In my body, And my mind. I feel as if, We will never arrive. If I die before the end, And others live on, To journey on, Until the adventure ends, Which then is the true end, To an ambling existence? Which side shall I awake upon? A mortal march towards death, Or an immortal stroll through eternity?
