The Key

He looks at what he's become
since his life has changed

He always thought he'd be someone
but only built a cage

Youthful dreams are full of hope
then drift away with time

He blames himself for it all
his rhythm lost it's rhyme

He feels he's lost and it's too late
he fails to find the key

To open wide his prison gate
allow his spirit free

Worthless commented on The Key

you know, its sad that some people are institutionalized by lies for some crime they didn't even do and then their lives are ruined because they have been treated wrong for so long. And some criminals learn from their mistakes but not alot. I may not be in that cage but i feel as if Im in prison too with invisible walls that I only seem to run into...

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
