Like a caged lion
My true self is jailed
Locked behind the bars of fear
Kicked out of society
Left out alone in the cold
Is the normal that I know
If there was something else for me
I would appreciate a road map
Sometimes I cry myself to sleep
Asking why I am the way I am
Why is my life the one I’m stuck with
Why can’t I have a better one
Frozen on top and for miles into the deep
My soul could sink a Titanic
Shattered and broken as I fall thru the ice
I scream and shout for someone to just be nice
Lying in the pool of blood
I find warmth in the pain of my efforts
Comfort isn’t an option nor is love
The knives of ice piercing thru and thru
How is this my life
How is this my course
Without a light at the end
I stumble around like a lost dog
Running from my fears
While still holding them dear
My greatest enemy
My only friend in the darkness
