For why am I consumed by emptiness
Emptiness I can no longer endure
I takes away all of who I am
It eats holes in the fabric of my soul

I keep searching for the reason
In the darkest chasms of my heart
I ponder the perplexity
But with the growing emptiness
I do not part

As I stare out the window
At the world teeming with life
Its then that I understand
That the life I live will never suffice

I belong with the wind and careless sunlight
I was never meant to be where I am
I belong above the clouds and above sight
Away from everything I have known

For my wrists have been bound too long
To what society has made of me
Its time I be let free
Before my heart is too,
empty
