Cage

Engulfed in bars which cage me in Locked inside this nightmare From which I never can win Surrounded by plastic people who do as they are told None of them unique And the role they play is getting old Doing what is expected of them to fit in with the crowd Reading from a script That’s all they are allowed Chiseling their faces and sculpting new shapes As if they are super hero’s Hidden beneath a cape Believing perfection is important in order to succeed Thinking love is made of plastic And wrapped with a bow of greed Cages hold us hostage in our world of make believe lies Where everyone becomes someone else Hiding behind a disguise Do you chose to remain trapped inside a cage doing as people say Or do you chose to be your own person And finally break away
