CAGED

 

The pain within too much to bear

Searching for hope but it’s never there

How long can one hold on before

The scars inside even the score

 

No way out except the certain

No longer to endure the endless hurting

Wings exchanged for heavy chains

Locked in place, no escape from pain

 

Cries for help, go unnoticed

Ears deafened to selfish notions

Like a volcano, the pressure builds

Anger, resentment, hate just fills

 

Heart fills with endless rage,

Like a bird locked in a cage,

Watching the other birds fly freely in the sky

While I am trapped, locked up and ready to die

 

A blackened heart that lost its glow

Ready to stop, to just let go

With the gun aimed to my head

It will all be over soon…once I’m dead

 

Then I’ll be free to fly high above

The chains that once held me like a glove

To bask in the sweetness of freedom’s air

I can almost taste it…I’m almost there

 

The hard part is over,

The battle is won

As I fall to the ground,

What’s been done is done

 

A blackened heart that lost its glow

Slows its beat till it beats no more…
