I’ve always sought freedom
An escape from the walls built around me
I craved the hot sand underneath my feet
And the chilly wind blowing on my face
I longed to feel the wetness of the sea
As I jumped and played with my friends
But life never followed the wishes of man
The outside world was not what I imagined
This wasn’t the freedom I sought
I now long to be back within my walls
But it was too late
I have slipped beneath the surface
And now, with frantic thrashes and screams I drown
Underwater.
