Forever

I’m trapped, forever
In a world full a pathways
In a world I can never leave
The expanses of woods are small
I can never wander farther than the next wall
Whenever we leave these dreary cages
These cages we call our home
It’s forever with another and never all alone
“There’s safety in numbers”
They always say
But I want to be free
Truly free
With no one to watch me
And tell me what to do
And evaluate my actions
Where no walls bind me
No rules keep me
Where I can gaze at the stars and the moon
But until I die and go to heaven
This world will have to do
Where people laugh at the meanest things
If only I could grow wings
But that will never happen
I fear, I will be trapped here
Forever
