For i wish not to be here

Around in circles i go

Holding my head trying to stay still

Yelling and screaming is not for me 

For i wish to be some place else 

this place is not for me

Closing my eyes i hold dear my thoughts

White walls and shackles, 

for i wish i was not here 

My caged soul cries out for those that walk by

stomping their way to another world leaving me behind

for i wish not to be here

I use to be some body, flowers grew near bright and colorful

Running the fields feeling free

happy thoughts lay upon this mind, 

wanting to rewind

For i wish not to be here 

Let me free, please i beg set me free

for i do not belong here in this cage

I have a heart and soul and mind

For i wish to be let go.......

So many types of cages rich or poor.. you could really feel the depth of despair, agony and pain of so much oppression. Life itself can sometimes hold us back from what we really would like to do.. responsibilities must come first but it's finding that balance of happiness for oneself that seems hardest.

I think alot of people could relate to this whether from experience in relationships or work related even. Loved the flow though sad these feelings can sometimes fuel high inspiration. It's the fight in life that can bring inner strength .. and renew faith and hope. The brighest lights cast the darkest shadows and those standing in the shadows really feel the warmth of that same bright source. Awesome job in releasing!

Yes this poem is definitly something everyone can relate to. But we must always remember that even though we have gone through or are going through hard times and sometimes wish not to be in them: that does not mean that we are no longer somebody. our hardships and struggles as well as what we do to overcome them adds to who we are as unique individuals. Love the emotional aspect of this poem, very sincere. a very good poem!

Haven't we all felt like that at times. Wanting change, looking at life and wondering how we got ourselves into some of the messes we've made. Thought provoking and memorable this piece is.
