My escape

[Myst]

Stuck
Feet planted
Might as well be bolted to the floor

Stuck
Going nowhere
Looking in vain for the door

Stuck
Someone help me
I just can’t take it anymore

Stuck
In a rut
Held down and unable to soar

Stuck
By my life
Carrying loads I wasn’t built for

Stuck
Wondering why
Waiting for what life has in store

Stuck
Here forever
Oh what a god-awful bore

Stuck
No wait
I’m done, not going to take one more sore

Free
Free at last
Time for me to even the score

Free
On my own
Don’t have to listen no more

Free
My time
You're as relevant as the days of yore

Free
Just me
Time to find out what is at the core

Free
Standing tall
Of myself, I’ve never been more sure

Free
Left behind
All those rules and standards I abhor

Free
From the pain
I refuse to keep fighting your war

Free
In the end
Being me was really the cure
