Eternally
Im locked up and I can't get out
Prison is what I felt
Only to realize I dont know whats left
Of me
Are these my chains that you see?
Im locked up-feels like eternity
Eternally,
to be forced to conform
To the whims of my peers
While my teacher teaches me for what feels like years--
You dont see me and I cant see you
Tomorrow is what i'm looking for
When I can see you behind these bars
Only to be kept from being me
Eternally
Jail bird is what I am
Jailbreak is what I seek
In breach of my contract of which you hold dear
Desperately Keeping me near
When will you ever let me go and be myself?
Never?
Okay.
I guess I’ll go back to my cell
