Caged

Bound my wings and chained me down

Didn't let me let go off the ground

All I wanted was a chance to fly

All you gave me were reasons to cry

Silent tears that were no consolation

You never noticed, no consideration

I died everyday trying to do what you expected

Never got a chance to be the way I wanted

Hate's a strong word, dislike's too little

I don't have words for you, my heart's brittle

Brittle, or maybe bitter I should say

Rather, shout out and scream, 'Go away!'

Why did you do this to me?

Made me break down so completely?

'Go live your life' is that so hard?

Four words that could mend a heart.

Until then, I despise you

For the choices you forced me to make

Not all you think is always right and true

If the recipe's for vanilla, a chocolate cake isn't what you'll bake.
