Walls
As I look at these walls
I feel helpless, useless, and lonely.
I need to be free
To spread my wings and fly away.
Must I go on like this?
Or shall I break lose from these walls
That feel like they're about to cave in on me,
My soul?
I'm scared, lonely
In these shadows that lay upon me
I feel helpless, useless
As I stare at the walls
Now with frustration.
My mind i racing
As I sit here in the corner
The dark, lonely
As I stare at these walls
With frustration in my eyes
Must I stay or move on?
My mind expands to extraordinary lengths
As I think of these outdoors
-the freedom
I don't belong here, my heart is somewhere else
I think...
I don't know
I'm scared, lonely, helpless, useless
My heart speeds up, I ball my fist
It stops
I get up
Wow! That makes me feel so powerful.
I walk to the middle of the room.
-Powerful...
I open my mouth and...and
Nothing comes out
Why?
I calm down, close my eyes
And listen to my heat
Open my eyes
Try it again
I scream so loud my eyes drum hurt
I feel so free
But not yet...don't stop...don't stop
I keep on, walls begin to crack
They crumble to the floor
Break like Humpty Dumpty
I feel air on my face
It's a sign
I open my wings and
Fly away
Because I know I'm free
At last
I feel helpless, useless, and lonely.
I need to be free
To spread my wings and fly away.
Must I go on like this?
Or shall I break lose from these walls
That feel like they're about to cave in on me,
My soul?
I'm scared, lonely
In these shadows that lay upon me
I feel helpless, useless
As I stare at the walls
Now with frustration.
My mind i racing
As I sit here in the corner
The dark, lonely
As I stare at these walls
With frustration in my eyes
Must I stay or move on?
My mind expands to extraordinary lengths
As I think of these outdoors
-the freedom
I don't belong here, my heart is somewhere else
I think...
I don't know
I'm scared, lonely, helpless, useless
My heart speeds up, I ball my fist
It stops

Wow! That makes me feel so powerful.
I walk to the middle of the room.
-Powerful...
I open my mouth and...and

And listen to my heat

I keep on, walls begin to crack
They crumble to the floor
Break like Humpty Dumpty
I feel air on my face
It's a sign
I open my wings and
Fly away
Because I know I'm free
At last
