I live in a prison with no walls
Rattling the bars that aren't there
Ankles shackled with no bonds

Dare I escape into the world?
Failure prowls the streets
Rejection closely follows
A pack of ravenous wolves,
Mouths dripping saliva,
Seeking to devour their anemic prey

Success in distance stands
On the peak of dreams never reached
Beckoning me draw near

Still I Remain
Rotting in this ruinous refuge
The guard wears my face
The key he holds for me to take
