Caged

Like a lion being tamed At each whip I am enraged To think That I Could change But things always seem To stay the same Wondering How I got so lost The plaque in my mind I can't floss Out! I want out Out of my mind Out my soul Tired of allowing the senses Of my flesh take control I'm so... Exhausted Of fighting the same fight Reaching out to Jesus Because I know He is The Light But the light fades And changes to a different shade Of grey Repelling the pain But it recedes Oh so slowly Then I'm chasing what I can't have Like Wil.E.Coyote Roadrunner slips by I can't grab it with my hands Feeling like my feet Are stepping on hot sand Each step to freedom Is raked with pain And it does no less to free My Caged brain But like King I have a dream! To break the seam That traps my life I have a dream! That I will have no strife And I can breathe The fresh air free from Worry Lies Selfishness Pain I am again reminded of how He Was slain... For me So I can live my life whole And without faults No more stress Because His blood Paid the cost For my soul and spirit No longer am I lost! My body sealed Stitched up with a suture My iniquities gone Past Present and Future The demons cower Hide in surprise Empowered like Angelou Still I rise With God by my side Death Is no longer my surmise No longer whipped Sore at the flagon Out the caged I roar With the fire of a dragon No more should I lack The world cowers at my feet Because Christ is on my side No power can meet After the demons die I turn to His face And then I smile For His name is Grace
