I’m screaming out into the dark
My hands reaching out between the bars
Begging for me to open my eyes
I rattle and shake the bars
I kick at the door and the chain trying to get out
Trying to break free
I know you’re there
I know you can hear me
Please stop turning away!
We can get through this together
I yell to myself
I know it’s all in my mind
It’s all there and I don’t know why
I try to fight
To push and to pull, anything to lift this veil keeping me here
This cage is too strong and I don’t know how to just open the door
I’m tired from fighting this war
So I sigh deeply and sit back down on the floor
