I tell you My body aches to leave this room, see what is beyond these four striped walls.

You say that all I need is in here, there’s no reason to go
.
I tell you I feel like a bird in a cage, let me out so I may sing
.
You say my voice sounds fine in here, so sing on.
I tell you my eyes are turning to dust from whirling around in circles trying to find something unfamiliarly new.
You say stop rolling your eyes
.
I tell you my limbs feel heavy attached to me, that my shoulders can not bear the weight of my discombobulated thoughts anymore.

You say then solve the puzzle.

I tell you I need to remove a piece of the puzzle for it to be complete.
You say then remove it and move on
.
I gently open the door and see past the four striped walls.
