Stuck

Surrounded by people but standing alone
I stayed small but they have grown
My life as it is has become my cage
I’ll smash it to pieces with my rage

I want to move on and be what I can’t see
I want to be a different version of the same me
It can’t happen while I am here
Need to shift life up a gear

Don’t get me wrong
Life’s a game and song
When I’m not here, when I have gone
I will appreciate how I have shone

I can be happy wherever I am
I just need a new plan
To get my life back on track
I feel it’s nearly time to pack

I don’t want to be misunderstood
I’ll look back on this time and it’ll be good
I have enjoyed what my life has become
But now this stage is over and done

I need to be moving all of the time
Finding new inspiration to rhyme
I went through a stage of fitting in well
But now is time to smash open my shell

I don’t want to run away it’s not like that
I’m running to something a lot less crap
I need to search for new and different things
I need to spread my clipped wings
