Analize This

I can't escape these caged up fears.
The tigers tear away the years.
Taught to hold back the tears.
I'm living alone.

The shadow creeps along the floor,
Wraps around. It wants more.
Life snuffed out now I'm a bore.
Pick up the phone.

You try to seek an understanding.
Hidden needs I am demanding.
Awkward rhymes don't stick the landing.
Analyze this.

Polka dots upon my face.
Dreams of taking off the brace.
I guess I can't complete the race.
A phantom kiss.

But I digress.
My life's a mess.
Take another step.
A promise kept.
