At home
A happy paper prison
Four walls
Keeping me in
Keeping them out
Protecting me
From the eyes
From the smells
The stupid people
Who say
This is who I am.
People ask me
Tell me I can go
Why would I want to?
Why would I leave?
Outside that door
I can't even breathe.
The air so thick
With people
Who tell me
I can't.
I can't stay inside
I can't think this way
I can't let them see me
What would they say?
Why do I care?
I can't close my ears
And thats why I'm scared.
If I leave
All those words
Will be there.
