Caged

Caged in for life never set free What is important to me is never important to others I am put on a back burner like the leftovers from the night before Everyone and everything is before me Controlled, tired of being Hating every moment that I am here Looking; searching for a way out Drowning in my own life Internally dying, a prisoner in my own home Every question ends with a No Because of this because of that She’s forcing me to be like her Confined to this house alone in solitaire The older I get the tighter she holds The harder I try to release myself from her never ending chains Which keep me from seeing those who are moving on When will it be my turn to be free or will I never be It seems I must free myself, but how there is only one way I have an escape that’ll take me away
