You tell me I am free,
And I believe.
Free to the world and its people.
Free to have the rights
All people should have.
But in my mind's eye, I see.
I am captive.
My cage in my home,
My home is my love,
My love is my freedom.
What am I to believe,
When you lead me around
So skilfully?
I believe you, but in my heart,
I know you are wrong.
How am I to break free of this cage
When I am ignorant
Of being a captive?
I see beyond the cage.
I see the world I think I know,
The world I live in.
My home.
My world.
My freedom.
My life.
Your cage.
