Poetry

How many times
Have you been in the cage
Wishing to leave
With the door open wide.

Why is it
That you have wings to fly
And dreams to soar
But never leave the ground?

Are you locked
Up in a room alone
With others knockin'
And you got the key to the door?

Have you been drowning
In the puddle of despair?
Out of breath?
Then stand up and leave.

Looking for the answer?
But won't listen to the truth.
Seek the cross.
That quiets the storm.

Got enough rope
To hold on and climb out?
What will you do?
Leave or tie a noose?
