Invisible Cage

I get mad,
I'm filled with rage,
I'm locked up,
In an invisible cage.

A chain around my foot,
So I can't escape,
I sit and bear the yelling,
My soul being raped.

You call me names,
That are so hurting,
And inside,
My soul is burning.

You yell at me,
And I scream back at you,
Then you lunge at me,
Like you always do.

The bars that form my cage,
Are made out of steal,
And you kick my gut so hard,
That I want to keel.

My mind is racing,
And I'm thinking so fast,
I need to get out of this cage,
And this spell you have cast.

Sometimes I let my mind wonder,
And think of the past,
Did I feel empty back then too,
Part of me missing, a huge mass?

You think I'm dramatic,
Me? How about you,
I hate when you try,
To control everything I do.

Leave me alone,
And let me be,
Why can't you understand,
Why can't you see?

I can't wait,
Until I'm gone,
Then I won't have to cry for help,
And I'll tell everyone how you were wrong.

You say you know me,
But I know you don't,
You try to break me,
But I'm not gonna let you, I won't!

Until I escape,
I'm locked in this cage,
Filled with sadness,
Filled with rage.

Dedicated to My Dad.
