Caught Between the Glass

I can see you're struggling,
caught between the glass.
You have that horrible crushing feeling
that you must escape, and fast.

You're like me,
caught between the two.
You can see the world outside,
but you can't make it through.

There are holes in the screen
That you can't get out of.
You throw yourself there
With faith you'll reach the skies above.

All you get are cuts and bruises.
In this world you're trapped in,
no one wins, only loses.

How can you keep trying?
Hurting yourself again and again?
I can admire your perseverance.
Envious of the determination.

What is it little fly?
Has a spark of hope been lit?
Do you see a way outside?
Maybe… just a little bit.

Well, so long, little fly.
You found your way out alone.
I wish you luck in that cruel world
While I'm still locked in my own.

But know, I'm okay and I have hope.
Because even if for now, I'm tired and numb,
If I keep trying like you,
My escape will come.
