There is so much I want to say
And yet my mind can’t form the words
I open my mouth to say my piece
And my thoughts scatter like frightened birds.
I feel a mute, alone and silent
Though sometimes I must lash out
There’s no other way; I am in a cage
Trapped, not really knowing what life is about.
I could explain if I really tried
But frightened am I of judgment and jeers
So I’m quiet and distant and I keep it inside
And simply sit in my cage and pass the years.
But oh! To have a single soul
Who knows the bars of cages well
Who might listen and tell of their own inner locks
And who remembers the instant their confidence fell.
For now, however, I sit and wait
And pass the years as though they were days
I wait and watch for a salvation of soul
To help me find my way out of this inner maze.
