Prisoner
I am a prisoner, all locked up inside.
I wonder what lies ahead of life.
I hear it's a better place out there.
I see that life's not really fair.
I want to let this go and finally be free.
I am a prisoner in my cell awaiting the key.
I pretend this is all a dream.
I feel the warmth of the sun shining with gleam.
I touch the silver metal bars.
I look out the window and see all the stars.
I worry what holds tomorrow.
I cry because of the pain and sorrow.
I wonder how I ended up here.
I am a prisoner drowning in fear.
I understand why I feel like this.
I say I can go back to the ones I miss.
I dream my life in a better way.
I try to make these feelings and emotions go away.
I hope that the day I say good-bye draws nigh.
I am a prisoner ready to lift up and fly.
