Prisoner of Self


When I look into your eyes I can see A version of you you keep locked away deep inside Trapped in a tattered cage amidst a storm of darkness spewing a violent rage with no control it sways begging to be released to live another day, but not one like this, no not this way. I see desire with a burning fire to enjoy life in every perfect way Cause games like this noone wants to play I see that same map of the world but still lost in some way Questioning Purpose, is this a test or just another game Cause ya feel so lost as you lose yourself to shame Is this my fault am I to blame while fighting to gain control as u try to find a way but if your reach within yourself you'll find a key it will not only unlock the cage but the gate to prison of shame that seems so far away
