Reality Is a Prison

REALITY can keep Us feeling like
We're behind bars
Wishing We were on Corners,
singing and hopping cars
Seeming as if We're suffocating,
suffering from SARS
That We're trapped like fireflies,
inside mason jars
How, over time, it can leave
emotional scars
Making for Us to feel like any-
thing, but STARS
