Mice in a Cage

How can I be expected to ignore the movements in my heart?
I get so frustrated when others expect of me to do things they are incapable of.
Why is my life so important to others; and why do they judge me so?
Have I ever placed such expectance on you; expect you to do what you can’t?

How am I to greet the feelings in my heart; wipe away the faces from my mind?
I have had to live apart from many I love; how can I be expected to say goodbye to more?
I am tired my friend… I am tired by being pushed around by others ignorance.
Just how did I become responsible for your comfort and contentment?

I am misunderstood when I mention that I am walking this world alone.
I continuously condition those around me; protect them from that they can’t understand.
I am there for you when you fail to understand or make sense of something.
But; I do not even receive consideration when my understanding surpasses the average.

I have said how I would have to combine individuals to, together, form a friend.
I have stated that I will have to find more than one love to have love in its full capacity.
But this is not understood; the mud pool is seen as a sea and I know it is not.
How would you coupe, when I show you the real sea; or… the love I speak of?

It seems like everyone is permit to love to their capacity; while I am not.
I am not even allowed to be sad about it without having to explain what is wrong.
I only let it surface when I am having difficulty coping with the unfairness of it.
Tell me! When I will be given a break to be as ignorant as you?

I love everyone and all; I feel sad for the way in which they are captivated.
I am even more taken by the way nobody seems to be aware if it.
When you are used to eat only bread everyday of your life; how do I explain steak?
How will you come to grasp the concept of pudding and sweets?

Oh… mankind; I pity your state and weep silently inside for how you have been robbed.
I get angry for the way you are complacent, accepting the little you have and say thanks.
Good qualities I know, for you are all good; but don’t you ever question if there is more?
Your barriers were created once off; you have become the maintenance team for it.

Why should I smile; tell me, what makes that right or don’t you understand.
The spiritual you are not captivated by the flesh; and you can love all.
You will always live within your confinements like mice in a cage.
One day you will be taken out and fed to the snake; is that a good life?

I dream of running in the fields, feeding on the food I can find.
I know the possibility of being social with others I meet; drop the cage.
You are grateful for being fed; having water placed at your feet.
Being told what you may and may not do; because you believe you are actually bad.

We all make a choice, especially of how we want to live; and that is okay.
Now, please permit me to live according to mine; without questioning me why.
I am your friend and care for you without knowing your name.
I will not harm you; I will not cage you or capture you with my ways; but, let me live.

I love more than I can even explain; it surpasses even my understanding.
LOVE… the only thing I can not control within me; that is for what I live.
I can not grasp your insecurities about it that well; I can only assume.
My heart love without end; then still have its full capacity left to love.

Please grant me this freedom; or PLEASE give me something to fill the gap.
I hunger all the time; what is feeding from my soul, only the cage you have placed me in.
I want to live completely, but because of the walls around me; I would rather die.
Words are flowing from my soul; it is nice and inspiring, but nothing change.

That is the life we live in; nothing ever changes to address the real problem.
We have a symptomatic approach; there is no place for more plasters and pills.
Question your life; admit that you have no real knowledge of right and wrong.
Why then so certain that I must be wrong; just because I view things different?

My friends, life is much more than what you know.
You limit your life experiences by falling in the trap of a monotonous life.
You are the mouse running on the wheel that never goes anywhere.
Please stop biting my tail while I am escaping; join me or at least let me go alone.
