I remember this is how I felt as a teenager trying to fit in.... I feel confined, trapped and hating these god damn lies.
We are all stuck in cages that hold us back from what we want do. This is a little poem about rattling cages to inspire you. I've been sat in my cage bored of shit and before long im rattling my bars.

I'm dressed up to the nines. Ready for a great night. Peep toe sandals. A floaty dress in white. I had a Martini. With lots of ice. It gives me that feeling. All warm, fuzzy...nice. I listen to tunes.
I wish I was smaller,. I wish I was taller,. I wish I was skinnier,. I wish I was chattier. I wish I was quieter,. I wish I was sportier,. I wish I was lazier,. I wish I was funnier,.
Building bridges between us Entering into our heart Belief in ourselves, in what we do Leads us to where we start If you can bring yourself For just one moment, to believe That you can fulfil all...
Then, they made me sound like a fool Then, I didn't want to go to school Then, I would come home crying When everyone thought I was lying...
Curtains stripped back,. Let in that sunshine,. Bursting through the smallest crack,. Please, this slice is mine,. To warm my face,. And touch my heart,. Forgive this greedy life race,.
I'm clean But I'm not Pure. You're nice But you must have something to hide. I'm and 'early bird' who loves to catch the worm But this 'bird' loves to sleep.

- “You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters.
[For my brother] I have lived two childhoods, But I am not yet a man, My bones are 14, but I am 19, You may look at me, but I won't really be seen, My rough beard is finally growing, My manner is...
