Description
All the beautiful pictures on my TVAll the wonderful things that I should be
Look around, but I can't see,
That golden key to set me free.
I look out from the darkness into the light
Watch me spread my wings as I take flight
I'm gonna leave it all behind, leave this cold, dark night
I'm gonna be just like that, mom, that's how I wanna be
Just like the pretty pictures on TV
All the beautiful pictures on TV
All the pretty things I want to be
Why you gotta open up my eyes and make me see?
This ugly world - not how they said it would be
Close my eyes again to see the light.
The light calls to me, it beckons. I see the light.
Voices hold me back, they say that I'm wrong
and they, they say that they're right
Yet I struggle, with all my might, to make it into the fading light
All the beautiful pictures on TV
All the pretty things, were all supposed to be
Pull me down and break my wings
To make me see the "real" things
They're all just blind, they cannot see
All the things I want to be
Falling faster into their hole,
Don't wanna live in darkness, just like a mole
Falling faster into their hole,
They live in darkness, just like a mole
Don't let me fall inside
Don't fall inside
Where all the real things hide

Good poem, great theme and great presentation.
I was originally going to suggest rhyming less, but after reading "Fear" I see that you can write without rhyme very well.
Keep it up.
