JAILBIRD

There was a time
When I used to think
Life is a beautiful brook
That flows by its own free will

Indeed it is
For the ones who have
Been blessed with freedom
These beautiful belongings from this life
Are not meant to be
For someone like me

All this time I had been lonely
This loneliness has been killing me
I can hear no human voices
Except my own echoing around me

One by one things start to fall
My words look faded on this wall
I laugh alone, I weep alone
There is no one around to hear my call

The only way to the outside world
Has been this window on this wall
I can only feel that the sun has set
When darkness starts surrounding me

I used to dream I could freely fly
Like a bird across the open sky
But I realize I have been destined to dwell
Inside this cage of captivity

I fail to find reasons for being imprisoned
In this chamber of solitude and insanity
Yet I still yearn for freedom
Surely someday it shall come
I shall be able to set my soul forever go free
From this anguish and misery

Someday when
I shall have to wait no more
I shall want to dream no more
I shall need to breathe no more
I shall be living no more

I shall be finally free
