The gag in my mouth chokes me
I want to yell
to scream
Need to hurt you back
to spit your own hash words at you
But the gag in my mouth chokes me.

My searching eyes are covered
I want to cry
to sob
Need to get relief
to spill out this depression
But my searching eyes are covered.

The bars on my window hold me
I want to run
to escape
Need to feel freedom
to make my own decisions
But the bars on my window hold me.

The look in your eyes stops me
I want to tell
to confess
Need to let you know
what I feel is more than friendship
But the look in your eyes stops me.
