Exodus

Sitting inside these walls
Plotting and planning my escape
I have to be free
I have to leave
Why can't it just happen
Why can't I be free
I dream of the exodus
I can even smell the fresh air
Right after I rise
Hoping the barriers can be broken
Exiting and never returning
Giving me life
And yet I am still here
Please let me go
Please let me leave
I have to
I need to
I want to
Be free
I will have my exodus

I Wake Up

Dreams, sweet dreams
Dreaming of achieving my goals
Dreaming of making amends
Dreaming of happiness and peace
The dream ends
I open my eyes
Smile on my face
Feeling real good
Better than good
Knowing that I can conquer any obstacle
Knowing that I am almost unstoppable
Check the late night text
That I feel asleep waiting on
Phone still in my hand
Then something doesn't feel right
I wake up and arise from my slumber
And realize
I am here
Here
And my mind, body and soul scream
For freedom
