my mind is my gatekeeper, warden of myself
restricted by doubt;
binded by fear;
I am inside my cage for endless years

how I wish I could break this jail
this omnipotent god
this chaotic hell

but only one way to be truly free
a blast of light between the brain
not the neck or heart, though it ends the same
but the master, the prison, the lock and the key

that’s why true heroes are like Kurt Cobain
they’ve reached the top and saw past the bars
their true emotions, not sex and cars

but I am complacent in my prison cell
safe from my only fear
risking nothing, away from everything,
I am inside my cage for endless years.
