Some what personal

Is this what I am meant to be?
Trapped in cages of silver and bone
Trapped in a place I don't call home
With no one to know who is the real me?

Why must I hide my sweet darling?
Why am I not allowed to be free?
Why must I go with social norms?
Why must I try to change my home?

Inside I feel what others don't see
Inside I feel the lost, true me
I long for what  i can not be
But I will try at last to be free.

It's a little short. You worked your way into expressing meaning, so the beginning is a little weak. The length would not mean as much if you focused more on depth than the artistry. The rhyme and artistry are textbook; do not be afraid to break the rules!

Good advice! This is an older piece, but I will be more creative with my next ones. :)
