CAGED
Why can't you just leave me alone?
Give me time to myself to be on my own
Your constant nagging drills through my head
I can't stand to listen to anything you've said
You over-react and believe I'm wrong
But I'm breaking away for the freedom I long
I love you God knows, but you're up in my face
You want me trapped here forever in this place
There's less talking and more action to do
It's time I stopped getting controlled by you
I know that you care, but in the wrong way it seems
I need to be my own person and follow my dreams
You can't lock me up and throw away the key
It's my time now to start living for me
I know that you doubt, that you just don't believe
But I shall be successful in what I set out to achieve
I'm sorry I can't live in the way you set out
But it's not healthy for me to be shrouded in doubt
I love you, you know, and it's always been true
But I can't be caged in anymore by you

Sometimes I feel trapped.
Trapped inside this body of imperfection.
Trappe d in my opinions of myself and
Wondering who I am.
I
by Duane Kuehn
In my mind, as in my soul,
A darkness lay I don't control.
A cage of man, which is not me.
A want to fit society.
The dressing
remorse
remorse has it's place
but not at the price of happiness
if i reconize my error
i will learn from it's experience
