Deliverance

The bars of my cell are icy cold
I'll never see freedom is what I'm told
My destiny is an outsider looking in
Whenever I see her, she begins to grin
Reminding me she's waiting on my release 
And my inner potential to be unleash 
Time is passing by and I'm still in this cage
My body is beginning to age
One thought lead me into anxiety 
Causing me to have no decent propriety 
I'm determine to break the chains of my mind
So my thoughts can properly unwind 
I'm my biggest critic who deciphers my uprise or downfall 
And my blessings are on the other side of this wall
I clutch my fists in the rage of my mental captivity 
The sting in my hand came from a key
It is the key to happiness and success 
I unlock my chains and GOD will handle the rest
Deception from my own mind
Caused me to waste tremendous time
Then reality hit me so fast
I was only prisoner because I didn't bury the past
Always look forward never behind 
Or else you'll find yourself lost in time.
