Trapped

Music
-1/20/00
Suffocating in a world of boundaries,
Yearning for flight without limit,
His mind is tortured to conformity;
His soul is lost in self-deception.
He throws back his starving arms,
And arches his fragile neck in the dark.
He screams with sadistic delight
At his twisted, hopeless situation.
Bound forever by those who created him,
Taught ignorance and deprivation for survival,
He lives, always with a hole in his heart;
He cries, knowing things must change.
Trapped by his own designs and mind,
He claws at limitless granite walls,
Striving for the freedom without bound,
Searching in vain for his own path in life.
That it is possible to forget my worries
And lose myself in a song is a wondrous thing.
The simple rhythms and familiar melodies
Drive me from my fears and put a smile on my lips.
Music is the soul of all humanity;
It will forever be my one and only love.
