Odyssey of the Mind

Sitting in a cage

an open cage

you're used to its measures

used to the way it feels

it gives you security

and eases your anxiety

the fear of the unknown

the fear to be all alone

the desire to leave home

the nightmare of being torn

I set my mind on something

I would like to be

and I open up the door

there is so much to explore

I set my mind on things

that I would like to see

and I open up the door

there is so much more to score

I sure could leave this cell

but I don't

I should leave this hell

but I won't

there is only one way out of this

it is to travel by mind - noiseless

the body is trapped but the mind soars free

the body is caged but the mind soars free.
