A Breath of Fresh Air

I have the key in my hand.
If only I could reach the lock.
The bars are rattling
and I am battling
to get out.

I can see the end of the maze,
but the last turn is a fork.
Venture on if you dare
though for fresh air
I would kill.

It's stuffy in here,
the air is so stale.
I would love it to death
to get just one freedom breath
from outside.

I know you truly don't care,
but I need a breath of fresh air.
