Out of Place

I live a life, a life without belonging I am a puzzle stripped of five pieces My heart feels a deep longing To escape from these shackles without releases Secluded in a cage that’s locked, but has no key It feels like I am fading into nothing, nothing at all And I cannot get rid of the anger deep inside of me I cannot run away; my back’s against the wall With no source of rhythm I cannot keep up the pace I try to keep in control, but all these emotions want to be released I cannot move on anymore because I am out of place My will is continuously being decreased I am the bird that cries all night begging for a chance, but will never be set free Because I am different from you; is there anyone in this world that is out of place like me Or am I the only caged bird that cannot seek the fix that’s missing and keeping me awake crying all night long.
