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 ~Vivian C.~Birth sign: Leo
