I am independent and trapped
You talk
I listen
You joke
I stare
I am independent and trapped
I want to talk
After I listen
I want to laugh
After you joke
I want to share my opinions
I want to express myself
But I can't
I am independent and trapped
I feel what you feel
After I don't respond
I scream on the inside
Longing to break free
I am independent and trapped
Once in a while
I take the light
For just one moment
Drunk with power and freedom
I am independent and trapped
I talk
You stare
I joke
You stare
I am independent and trapped
I can never win
Am I meant to be independent?
And lose everyone
Or meant to be trapped?
And lose myself
I am independent and trapped
Screaming
Crying
Longing
Begging
To be who I am
But I don't even know
Who that is
I am independent and trapped
All I know
Is that either way
Everyone loses
I am independent and trapped
