The cage shuts
Walls go up
Expected to conform
To an idea of self
True self shadowed
Walls go up
Self shuts down
Industry takes over
Be productive
Get through the day
Do the things
Live up to
Impossible expectations
Lose self
Walls go up

A moment
A window
A view of possibilities
A taste of air
A taste of different
A wall crumbles

Cage slams down
Walls go up
Rebuilt stronger than before
Protection
Security

"I love you"
i love you too
"I love all of you"
as long as it conforms
An idea

Walls go up
Graffiti of an idea
On the outside
Inside suffocates
Slowly dying

A moment
A window
A view of possibilities
A taste of air
A taste of different
A wall crumbles

A cage slams-
No.
Refuse.
Fight.
Breathe.

Hold true self
Hang on
Primal scream building
The walls will be
Torn down
