Even though I can walk and talk and go wherever I please
I am locked in this cage without the keys
You may not see it at first, look closer and you'll see
I am yearning and shouting to be set free
I've struggled I've tried but the outcome is the same
I'm stuck I'm trapped with four people who claim
That it's my fault and that I'm the one to blame
And when I try to escape they bash me with shame
I'll cry under my smile and laugh through my pain
They'll cheer and shout and refuse to change
I am locked in this cage without the keys
You may not see it at first, look closer and you'll see
I am yearning and shouting to be set free
I've struggled I've tried but the outcome is the same
I'm stuck I'm trapped with four people who claim
That it's my fault and that I'm the one to blame
And when I try to escape they bash me with shame
I'll cry under my smile and laugh through my pain
They'll cheer and shout and refuse to change
My parents keep asking me "why are you sad" "why do you look like your dog died" I wish I could tell them it's their fault, but when I try they try to put the blame on me. I'm going to see a therapist soon and I'll express that to them but my parents are very stubborn. I want to be free I want to be who I am. But all day every day I have to act like a person I don't know. I'm slowly going crazy.
