escape from the prison of sadness
i am in a prison full of bars
that laugh with hate
in a room that cannot see the stars
waiting to be consumed in this state
i wish to see them once more
the vast starry skies
i close my eyes and lay on the floor
and to my great surprise
they appear and give hope
to my dream of being free
to move up above the slope
towards my destiny
free from this strain to speak
free to express my thought
free of the constant 'inside freak'
free from the grinning lot
who call me crazy and all sort
i wake up to find the gleaming sun
telling that battles are meant to be fought
so i wake to another day full of fun
with another lesson to me taught
