[the frustration within]

caged and chained
holding me down
crushing my morale
i'm trying so hard
just to sit and watch
what's the point?
i don't know.

the trouble with me
is that i'm not
good enough
but i'm there,
everyday
because i made
the team

i don't see
what's so hard
just give me a chance
one time
one moment
trust me

i can do better
much better
than this
but it's hard
when my head is down
and my heart fades

i let go of hope
you tell me to
do my best
when you and i know
it's not good enough

i can do better
give me a chance
i'm trying too hard
i'm nervous and frail
and it's hard to look up
when my spirit is down
