Trapped in a Cage

My heart is burning with a growing rage
from the problems that keep me trapped in a cage,
I watch this dark world pass me by
and I lower my head as my soul lets out a cry,
I want so badly for you to see
that this raging madness is killing me,
I hold onto this last thread of my unstrung heart
for when I let go all falls apart,
I will not give in nor will I truckle
but the weight  of this burden is making my heart buckle,
I want all the pain to go away
but it just grows bigger everyday,
my heart is guarded by my glowing rage
but I can't let go to turn the page,
i block my heart and it grows cold
as I let go of all I hold,
This heart is now hard as stone
and I tell myself that I'm all alone,
I've turned away those i once held dear
and hurt those that filled me with fear,
so I leave this place full of rage
because of the problems that keep me trapped in a cage.
