I Want to Be Free

I am in a cage.
I cannot break free
No matter how hard I try.
The door is locked.
I can see the key
But it is just out of reach.
I am just waiting.
Counting down the days
Until I can escape.
Waiting for this weight
To be lifted off my chest.
It is internal hell
Living this way.
My mind and my body
Just cannot get along.
When will this end?
I've been waiting my whole life
For a day that has yet to happen.
Never knowing when it will come.
Just waiting
And dying inside.
I've been in this cage
For far too long.
Trapped.
