caged

by vivi - Leo


Caged
Caged is how I feel
I feel like I was in some type of cage, a small room
In a room where the only way I could get out is by climbing up out of it
The only way to climb out is by stepping on small tiny steps
In which your hands and feet can barely grasp on to
But everytime that you try to climb the small, steep steps
Its like everyone tries to push you down
It seems like for every step you take your pushed down two or three
Like if no one wanted you to succeed in your goal
Whatever it might be
Getting out of a depression, winning your final prize or anything it might be
 You feel that no one wants you to get to the top
To get to the light of the tunnel
To get through the misery and the difficulty
You seem to be trying as hard as you can not to suffer
Not to burst out in tears in front of the people who make it hard for you
You are mad confused
You start to understand everything and everyone
When you start thinking why is everyone making everything so hard on you
You think well who is everyone
Is it your peers,
Your family,
Or is it also yourself
Are you included in the group of people who make your life a living hell
Do you make your life a living hell
When you are depressed do you try to get out of the depression
So what is really the problem
Everyone making your life impossible
Or you helping them make your life impossible
When taking a step closer to get out of that cage, do you help them push you back down
Are you giving up to easily
Are you too scared to face the reality of the cruelty of the world we live in
Are you afraid of getting hurt again
Are you just afraid that you’re not going to make it
Is the pain so much that you rather stay in a cage and pretend to get out or just stay there without hope
Is the pain so horrible that you rather not even try to help yourself
Is the pain so terrible that you don’t even care what happens to you, or to have the people you care about see you the way you are
Is the pain so much that you don’t care if you stay caged for the rest of your life, you don’t care if you die in the cage
Or is it just everyone making your life miserable
Are you actually trying to get your self free from the cage
Whatever it is you must find out because you gotta get out of the cage
You can’t keep suffering in depression for the rest of your life
You have to figure out the way to take one step at a time 
But those steps have to be taken quickly, but with hope, and courage
With every step praying and thanking the Lord that he gave you the courage needed and that you didn’t let anyone push back down
Because out of that cage, someone very special and new has to come out
It may seem a long way to see the light, but one day its gonna be found
