Summary: I'm not a poet,in the sense that i'm not trained or experienced. This is just something I wrote one day when i was feeling oppressed and trapped in a situation.




A window with the lock screwed on,
the only think from stopping me saying so long.
Look outside how people and cars move so rapidly,so lively,
whereas inside every life in me withers away oh so rapidly.
I'm gonna got to heaven or hell very soon now,
if only this stupid window ever opens,holy cow!
Sure, why not O'd on pills, better yet slit your wrist,
yes I understand that's much more simple and swift.
But man if I'm gonna take my life, I wanna fly,
I wanna fly, soar so very high, high up in the sky.
So you see my need for this window to open wide,
all I wanted was to fly,to ease my mind, but that I'm always denied.
Now with window opened wide, mind untied and denials defied,
finally I leap into the sky, mind untied forever I glide.
