Trapped in a Cage

Trapped in a Cage

At a very young age

Looking at the night sky

As the lonely years drift slowly by

He sees no future in the stars

For him, theres nothing

Beyond those prison bars

Someone help me

Cries a voice from deep inside his head

Someone end this misery ,I cannot hide

Someone end this misery inside

Oh Lord,end this misery

End this misery inside

Hes nothing but an empty shell

Drowning in a wishing well

His life is a torn out page

Ripped apart in silent rage

What does he do ?

When sleeps his only friend

And even then, the pain inside, it never ends

Someone help me

Cries a voice from deep inside his head

Someone end this misery,i cannot hide

Someone end this misery inside

Oh Lord, end this misery

End this misery inside

I am innocent

I am innocent

I AM INNOCENT

But, theres nobody listening

The walls have closed their ears

They have heard it all a thousand times before

They have heard it all a thousand times..

Before.

About this poem:
This is taken from a song I wrote many years ago,
thankfully I have gained my freedom since then
and life looks a whole lot brighter.
