I love to look out of the window,
and just watch the sunset,
and watch sky ombré into a shade of purple.
And i let the candyfloss pink clouds carry my worries away.

i love to lay in silence,
the sound of rain overcoming my ears.
The droplets of water hitting the slant of my window.
And i let the sounds of water hitting glass drown out my thoughts

People bang on the windows of the monkey’s glass cage,
They’re hoping to scare it.
They think it’s funny to watch something innocent
scared out of its mind
then again, why do people watch horror movies.

People bang on the windows of the monkeys glass cage,
And watch it run around.
It yells, pleading for the people
“make it stop, make it stop.”
But the monkey can’t speak,
So the people just laugh.

The monkey runs towards them with a look of anger in its eyes
A look of rage.
It bangs back on the window.
The people laugh still.
They laugh as though being trapped in a dungeon is a joke.

Then the zoo closes and the people go home.
The monkey goes to bed.
But the monkey knows it will happen again the next day,
and the monkey has to live with that because no one hears it when it asks:
“stop”

I'm sorry that I can't open up.
I'm sorry that I don't tell people everything.
But I can't.
Something in my brain tells me no.
It tells that no one cares, that I'm annoying.

I'm sorry that my brain puts up a wall.
I'm sorry that I feel uncomfortable telling people things.
I care so much yet I feel that no one cares at all.
I'm sorry...

You taught me that I am nothing.
You showed me no one cares.
You pulled me into a hole,
A hole of guilt and despair.

I found a ladder,
A way out of there.
It causes me pain not talking to you
But that pain I am able to bare.

You can push me around no more,
You have no say in what I do.
You can’t make me feel bad.
I’m happier and better now; thanks to YOU.
