Confined

I'm already dead. 🐦💀

I am really tempted to book a flight anywhere but here

All you two seem to want to do is fill me up with fear 

A bird is what I've been for the past 22 years

Urge me to spread my wings but how can I when it's not clear? 

You cage me in, you compare me to my family's past mistakes

Don't realize that you crush my heart, just sit there while it breaks 

I'm oh so lonely don't you see I can't help how I feel

  

But when I leave you'll cry for me so tell me what's the deal?  

I'm sitting in a prison cell with yelling, rules, and strife 

When will you finally realize just to let me live MY LIFE?! 

I drink and smoke because I don't have someone to hold me  

I don't eat and I don't sleep so now you think that I'm crazy  

Maybe I am maybe I'm not but who am I to say? 

The words I speak don't seem to process through you anyway

Just let me go! Just let me go! I just want to be free

 

Just let me be! Just let me be! I just want to be me 

What kind of life is worth living when confined inside a cage?

Perhaps I will be free someday.. at some much older age.
