I'm trapped
I'm trapped in a world within a world
Long days turn to night
With the quite tear slowly racing by
Can you not see I'm hurting inside
my fingers have scars from the many times I've tried to claw my way to freedom
But these invisible walls are far too strong and they confine me to this empty dark cell
I beg for understanding
I beg for just a few moments to be me
Yet you wish for me to be that trained lion trapped in its cage
I must always perform at the crack of your whip
Tricks and such to give your greed a quick fix
You have robbed me of the most precious time of my life
I had to be a flower before I could even grow a bud
If only you could have given me the time to grow into myself
Maybe
Just maybe I would be free of this mask
Of these shackles
Of this invisible cell you called fame...
