The Passageway

Stuck ~ 

Between two rocks 
Tic-toc goes the clock
Tried  the door, but its locked
...so I knock
And remain docked
Tied down
Bound
To the ground

Stuck ~

Need to take flight
So I fight
With all my might
To not lose sight
...of freedom

Stuck ~

In the hallway, between there and then
Where and when
Where I'm going and where I've been
What was and what's to come
...numb

Tired of pain
So I refrain
...from feeling
Going insane
Because I remain
In need of healing

Can you hear me?

Silent screams
Shattered dreams
Smile's lying
Heart's crying

Suffocating
Can't breathe
Frustrating 
Gotta leave
So, I cleave
...to the light

Peeking through the door
Crouched on the floor
Begging for more
Longing to soar
...higher
...farther

...beyond these walls
Freedom calls
Beckoning me upward
Onward 
and Forward
Toward
...the wind

Where I can breathe again

Liberation
Emancipation
Unrestrained
No longer detained
Or contained
...in the middle

Is where I long to be
NO! These walls cannot hold me
You see,
Someday soon, I WILL BREAK FREE!

Free to fly again
Free to smile again
Free to dream again
Free to dance again
Free to live
Free to love
Free to breathe
Free to sing
Free to spread my wings
...and SOAR
