The Freedom of Me

I look up to rolling clouds so depressing and dark

I look out this window that sets us apart

Away from a world I wish to be in

Instead I'm trapped here with you again

I'm trapped in these walls of this house with you

I need to be outside so I can break through

Away from your disappointment anger and fear

So much negativity makes my vision unclear

Now I can't see my bright future, just your angry eyes

Nowhere to hide in this home that can't be mine

Caged in from the world under all this pressure and hurt

You should be the one to make it better not worse

Nothing I do will ever please you I see

So I must depart so that I can live for me

This one from the archives. Still a good one though.
