In the Cage of a Lion

It's hard to live inside the cage w/ a lion... 

You don't know when it will attack you!!!!

Dang! been so stupid living the life as same at t'was before.

Wish I could go out and escape from being trash.

Wish that I could grab his neck then twist it hard.

But I'm fainted, I'm weak...

Now, wait until I stand w/ my both feet.

You'll see a master in front of you.

Asking you to leave this cage...

Then bring all the mess that you've made!

Hi AiyaH! Hope things are alright with you; I feel a lot of disillusionment here, but I know you have it in you to move on and make something positive out of your life. You have age and true friends on your side! Take care. // paul
