I see the door, so far away
Closing with every step I take
I know I will be locked outside
But I know I have to keep trying
Too far; it can't be reached
Yet so close, I've lost half of me
The light is still shining through
But it is certain I will lose
I walk along a flowing river,
Rushing, pushing me further
But at once, it pulls me back
To quench the thirst I never had
A squeal reminds me of the door
To resume my search for the greater world
Still closing with every step
A destiny I would not accept
The smell of home mocks me from afar
From the distance, my comfort calls
But I find myself still trapped outside
And I still find myself wondering why
The loneliness drives me insane
I need to breathe once again
To learn to crawl, to walk, to run
To live as I had once done
At last, I reach it; my home awaits
But the locking sound seals my faith
By the push of no one else
As I find it was only I, trapping myself
