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.

Four striped walls
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.
