How can I say this?

My mind caged as I witness—

I'm... my only witness.

On this day, these days, without forgiveness,

I ask for forgiveness.

Like David, I have to face my giant.

I try to run away with—

My life.

My payment.

Can I stand against my goliath?

In my glass home, I can't throw stones.

My confidence shatters,

Whispers, loudly speak in silence—

In this cage of mine, is it really a home?

A life behind bars,

Free from freedom.

How can you understand?

A mindset that freedom is an illusion.

What is there to be free from?

An open door.

My mind stood still—

Emotionally, I was blocked.

Society puppet,

Tearing away the strings.

Mentally free.

I begin to believe—

Finally, I see—

Caged was never me.
