Caged Animal Poem by Ace Of Black Hearts

Tell me, oh tell me.
What do you want from me.
How can I make this work.
You know truth be told maybe I am already too old.
So much work, so little time.
Preparing for the life before you die.
Atleast I can say I tried.
Another sad goodbye.
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.
The promise was great.
Playing the cards of fate.
Sooner or later I will win.
Always in the end.
Another summerset dream lays before my haunted eyes.
I'm so tired of fighting for just myself.
What I have always wanted was someone else.
Opening up, releasing the memories.
The solar shower of pain.
So many names, come and gone.
But it remains the same, I'm just not good enough to stay.
Nobody wants to live the way I do.
Nobody wants to share in the things I have went through.
It's not your fault I don't blame you.
I'm so strange.
I enjoy making a fool of myself on center stage.
The exhibit everyone must come see.
Just don't feed him through the cage.
For you might incite his undeniable rage.
But it just isn't true.
And it just wrong for you to assume.
Yet you still have come to that conclusion.
What if what you see is just an unfortunate illusion?
Created accidently and not for your amusement.
And the carnival proudly presents.
Can you not see how that make feel, and what challenges it presents.
A rush for freedom, A rush to turn a life around.
It's quicksand so just throw me rope, tie it off and I'll do the rest.
Sometimes we all need a little help.
I'm willing take it, if only it would be offered.
But instead I will continue to suffer.
