have you ever felt
trapped in a jar?
ever wanted to be free?
have you ever ran
away too far?
just to be locked
with a key?
locked in a room with no
windows;
no escape
no asleep;
no awake
just the everlasting
stare
from the jar that
keeps you there?
have you ever felt
trapped in a jar?
ever wanted to be free?
ever wished upon
a falling star
hoping to find
tranquillity?
