Why cant I?

I cry myself to sleep
But I don't know why
I have a decent life
Passing me by

There's nothing wrong
With my situation
So why do I feel like
I'm a mutation

I feel disconnected
I feel out of place
Like I don't fit in
With the human race

Why can't I be a panther
Running through the woods
Why can't I be wild
Soft ground underfoot

Why can't I live life
With a reason to smile
Why can't I have something
That makes it worthwhile

Why was I born human
If I long to run
Far away from humanity
Under the sun

If roses are red
And blood is like wine
Ask me I promise
I'll tell you I'm fine
