I lay in bed

I lay in bed nailed to my sheets
My soul screams to move and live
But as the crippling jail my mind has become
I lay in bed

My once active feet become lost in my colorless sheets
My soul tosses and turns without my bodies permission
I scream inside to get up
To let the sun kiss my pale tormented face
But I lay in bed

I hear the lives people live beyond my dim lit window
The joy that is laughter
Angry lust filled arguments
Animals greating each day with their soft voices at play
Longing to just get out there

But my heart is lost
My body is stone
My mind is grey
So here in bed I lay....
