Open My Cage

You can't escape from me,
You can run or hide,
And plead all you want.
I will continue to haunt you,
For I am inside you.

Don't fear me.
I am our friend.
I can make you happy
If things work out right.

Stop p r o l o n g i n g.
Youth wastes away when lived unused.

You keep me locked in your cage
And provoke me with a stick.

I will still RATTLE
These iron bars,
Aggravating you for my freedom.

Listen to my
SCREAMS!
Release me from my bondage.
FALL into my arms.
Let me help you.
Take me where I belong.
Outside...
Open my cage.
