Striving for adventure,
But only earning a lecture.
Yearning to be free,
And yet a cage is all I see,
Trying to pick the lock,
Hearing the tell tale tick-tock, tick-tock.
Time is running out,
Succumbing to another bout.
Not provided food or water,
Can feel myself growing hotter.
A desperate beg, a frantic plea,
Yet no escape for me.
