I can only ever see the glass

As half empty

Because the world is full of possibilities

That will never be possible.

I can never do what I want,

Because the world is a cage,

And I am already beating myself

On the bars.

My future can never be bright,

Because the fabric of humanity

Insists on sucking out

All the light

That might have once been there.

My cage has no key,

Because there were never meant to be bars

In the first place.

This life is a hallway

We will never be free of

Because there is a door

that we made

Blocking

The

Way

Out.
