There’s has to be another way out

It’s like a cage, trapping me here in this sea of sorrow

I want to get out, I’m tired of crying

Tired of being alone

Tired of being hurt

I just want to be normal

I want laugh like I mean it

Smile without a care in the world

Be able to hold my head up high for the world to see that I’m winning this fight

This fight against myself

The fight to get out of this cage and onto the shore where new beginnings are

I want a boat of hope to let me drift away from the sea of sorrow

I want to run and let the sand of new beginnings seep through my toes

I want to cry, not because of sadness and sorrow

But of joy and relief

Is that too much to ask?

I ask to smile but I can’t

I feel like I'm drowning in this sea

The weight of the cage seems to increase as I slowly sink into the deep dark depths of this world

Then I’ll be forgotten

I can’t let that happen

I want to rise, to breathe the air of happiness

Why is it so hard just to do that?

I long to do just that

I am not given anything to fight with, so I will fight with my hands

I will fight until I reach that shore

Until I run to a town of love

But until I find a way out

My fight will have to wait

As I sit in this cage in the sea of sorrow

Just a little something I wrote in my first semester in Community College.
