The knob moves,
but the door never opens
I stare at the sign that sits on the door,
telling me I’ll never make it through
Feeling the warm glass wall,
dreaming of the moment I’ll,
get to crush each crystal of grass
Having a picnic with myself
and hiking around the small maze
Thinking of the day when,
the door opens just for me to enjoy
Having the sun kiss my face
and the grass hug my body,
while watching each pillow in the sky,
overcome by my imagination
The one day when,
I finally break out of the dark prison
into the fresh air covered in its own beauty
The metal bars that surround my face,
only showing me where I want to be
The one thing holding me back,
continues to push against my body
Teasing me every second,
knowing my dream of
touching the emerald grass
and feeling the boiling hot sun
Stuck in a thought,
trying to figure my way out,
but I was the one with the key
The desire kept me out
and when I gave up it let me in
I walked through this wonderland
and turned back around into that prison
I wanted to get through that door
I thought it would make me better
or even happier
I walked back into that prison
I don’t need to change myself
I’m only locked in my own prison.
