i'm a bird
i'm a gazelle
with eyes full of fear

I'm the ocean of tears
I've held back for so long

I am pain
I am loneliness

I can't live right
I'm a hermit
in this house

i'm a bird
trapped in a cage
too small for it

i'm a great mind
living in a swamp
of shallow people

i'm a black hole
shifting directions
every day

i'm trying to make it
even though i don't see a way out.
