I am a dreamer
A spirit caged
looking to be set free
The dreams I dream
are realistic
I could be out in the world
searching places
Left perched here
caught between wanting to leave
and being afraid to.
Alive
Not living
Stuck
My body seems dazed
Sit and think is all I do
Like a prisoner
Disintegrating
Dying slowly, painfully
Thinking of a better life.
I try,
try my hardest
to see the light
Looking at images of my perfect nirvana
All I have is fascination
I can almost feel the wind,
see the nature surrounding
Just one of my dreams.
I open my eyes
Realize I'm confined
4 walls
Can't break free
Hoping one day the fear is gone
Endeavor and unearth happiness
True happiness
Travel the world like I've wanted to.

I am a dreamer
A spirit caged
looking to be set free
The dreams I dream
are realistic
I could be out in the world
searching places
Left perched here
caught between wanting to leave
and being afraid to.
Alive
Not living
Stuck
My body seems dazed
Sit and think is all I do
Like a prisoner
Disintegrating
Dying slowly, painfully
Thinking of a better life.
I try,
try my hardest
to see the light
Looking at images of my perfect nirvana
All I have is fascination
I can almost feel the wind,
see the nature surrounding
Just one of my dreams.
I open my eyes
Realize I'm confined
4 walls
Can't break free
Hoping one day the fear is gone
Endeavor and unearth happiness
True happiness
Travel the world like I've wanted to.
