Caged Life

Sometimes I feel as if life


for me was a cage


locked up


unable to run free


life for me…


was filled with rage.


 


Speaking was not always an option


sometimes


silence was the best.


I let my feelings


float away


and I guess I forgot the rest.


 


Living in fear,


was the lock on my cage


too scared to run


too timid to cry


sometimes I just wished I’d die.


 


I thought I was happy


but most times just sad


hiding behind steel bars


and the freedom


I wish I had.

Good use of the metaphor (cage, bars, locks) until the end.
Simple and touching.

You know, Lavendar, there have been times when I have felt the exact same way. You, miss, are one heck of a poet!

This is deep, Lavendar...pulls at the heartstrings. I imagined you as a child, struggling to break free from your captors, whatever they might have been. Keep writing...you are for sure an encouragement to others in the same plight.

God Bless
