Glass all around,
A fragile encasement,
So hard to protect
From the world outside.
Tinted softly blue,
Refracting light onto my skin.
The glamour is lost upon me,
For I can't break this glass,
I can't find my way outside.
Trapped in my own mind
Without a way to touch others.
Try as I might
I can't break this glass,
Can't get out,
And the air is leaving.
Will I die inside this glass
Never knowing what it's like
To live freely?
Oh, no way.
I'm out of here.
I push, force, slam
Against the walls
And it cracks.
One more smash,
The glass has finally shattered.
I cut my feet as I get away,
Leaving a trail of blood behind
But my wounds will heal
And I'm finally free
From my glass encasement.
