This is kinda stupid but oh well.
Outside the window I see the rain pour
I see the children running in the rain
That just makes me want to cry so much more
but instead I will just endure the pain
I have been confined for so many days
They do not see that I want to be free
All of them will at last go their own ways
And they will ignore my desparing plea
Why should I stay sad and depressed in here
Should I be sentenced to grief and dispair?
But I would be happy and free out there
And why must I be here not everywhere?
Is this how my life is supposed to be?
No this is not who I want to be me
