"The Cage" "The Cage"
I stare out past the metal bars,
As people walk by, never noticing me.
I cry out for help,
they throw a cover over the cage,
I long to walk with others,
To move freely among others.
Instead, I am trapped here,
The light shut out,
The warmth cooled.
As the days go on,
I retreat farther and farther
into myself,
into the dark depths of my mind.
I fear it is not much longer
before I waste away,
A body abandoned,
A soul destroyed...
