Trapped behind hard metal bars
Metal bars that left sores if touched even lightly
*
Self esteem and confidence
Pace behind the bars
Waiting to be released
*
Years of torment and discomfort
Unable to eat or drink
I'm continuously told "maybe next year."
*
Five years I've been imprisoned
The day is here
I will be free
*
Free to eat corn on the cob
Free to smile the beautiful smile
I know is hidden
*
The day has come
The braces come off
I am free
*
