Free Cee Caught In a Bear Crap

CAUGHT IN A BEAR CRAP

The following is what is mutilating my mind
I was not designed to be confined
Freedom is no longer free for me
It comes at a cost and too great a fee

My psyche wasn’t cut out to be trapped
While my coherent thoughts are being sapped
I’m like a maple tree with no sap to tap
And freedom, for me, has become a trap

My leg is caught in the jaws of a snare
And days of delight have now become rare
I could chew off my leg but I’d still be ensnared
While it is with pity to which I am paired

If I cannot escape from this trap I will die
And when someone swears I am free they lie
I am a demon deemed by the devil’s device
And that’s why freedom for me comes at too great a price
