Burning with desire to run free
yearning for someone to release me
locked up emotions from deep within my mind
stranded with the fear of what I may find
Broken spirits and shattered dreams
There must be more to life than what it seems
A side show attraction to laugh and stare
Junk and food thrown at me from everywhere
Am I young or old... can't remember my age
I've been stuck here too long, my home.... this cage.
