Anywhere But Here

Trapped in a cage,

Held captive like a bird.

I feel suffocated,

Like I will never be heard.

I still look for a light,

One glimmer of hope.

Until then, I must learn

To suffer and cope.

My life has been taken,

It is no longer mine.

I feel I'm in prison

I'm here serving time.

Home is where the heart is,

Or so that's what they say.

My heart is not here,

It is far, far away.

Where my heart wants to go,

I'll have to wait and see,

But I know my heart is shouting,

"I just want to be free!"
