Trapped here

Their walls are gone
If I desired, I could flee
But I'm trapped by my words
And burning from a fire inside
I have nothing left but to die
Because everything I had
All that I am, lost to time
Everything was gone
Everything that I've wanted
Is forbidden to me
My psyche is haunted
I'll never go free
This is a death sentence
For one who was innocent
This is a cosmic joke on me
All I have is repentance
They were seeking perfection
All that they had
All that they wanted
Was for me to be
Just like them
Expectations of perfection
And things that I will never be
