Jimmy Large Poet I do not know?

Claustrophobic Life

I lie down on the ground
I can hear no more sound
The sky seems closer
I just need to see better

I make an effort to stretch my hand
I can touch clouds soft as sand
They say I'm guilty for not being happy
And that all I need is therapy

But there is no cure for me to heal
I feel for something not real
I followed their birdcalls
Now I'm trapped within invisible walls

What's in a claustrophobic life
Make me colourblind
And I shall enjoy this halflife
Maybe some sleep I shall find

The world is my lovely prison
Someone is calling from the outside
Or is it from the inside
Anyway I like the taste of this slow poison

The world made me a slave
Telling me how to behave
I accept being a slave
And freedom I shall not crave

The world put me in a cage
Waiting for me to come of age
I do not have enough courage
To fly away from my birdcage

What's in a claustrophobic life
Sing me a beautiful aria
And I shall enjoy this nonlife
Let me embrace my beloved insomnia

The missing quatrain:
I hate this feeling of incompleteness
I feel powerless and everything smells of madness
Hello my charming suicide bride
I can’t breathe… Will you help me with some cyanide
