I’m like an animal trapped in a cage, <br />I can feel my anger turning into rage. <br />I have to break on out and get loose, <br />Before my neck gets caught in a noose. <br /> <br />I’m like an animal trapped in a cage, <br />Being displayed under a spotlight on stage. <br />I’m always under so much scrutiny, <br />And it’s time for me to start a mutiny. <br /> <br />I’m like an animal trapped in a cage, <br />And the world will soon feel my rampage, <br />I have no choice but to become violent, <br />But only until my heart is content.<br /><br />Jon M.
