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.
