I don’t know how it happened, how they locked me in this cage

They’re outside, chattering, while I’m stuck here, enraged

They’ve a warped sense of humor, I need time to figure this out

Somehow I have to open the door, I can’t just sit here and pout

Don’t worry, I won’t do that, I’m nothing like dogs, no way

I’m superiority at my very best, soon, I’ll make those birds pay

Three against one, a bit unfair, as in this cage, I ponder

All these hours, chatting away, is too much time to squander!

I have to stay alert, and wait, the timing must be right

A distraction would be helpful, I can’t stay in here, all night

Finally! They’ve stopped that noise, are they now asleep?

I’m trying to look around at them, I mustn’t make a peep

Looks like they’re dozing, sounds good, I think I will partake

Curling up in sweet silence…

Their squawking, gave me a headache!

Should it come to an end, never to remain

My world, restricted, again and again

A finite place, I have come to loathe

Trapped by limits, naked, unclothed

Living inside of me, a place to call home

Colorful nights, in vibrant monotone

Watching the shadows, creep in with a smile

Knowing they won’t last more than awhile

Yet, I still have this time, should I complain?

As I listen to the infinite, whisper in vain

The Wooden Box ~ #poetry

Wooden slats laid on the floor

Up the sides, so many more

The ceiling’s just another wall

Insanity finds you, you start to fall

Down to the bottom, no sign of light

No windows nor doors, it must be the night

Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run

When will this agony ever be done?

You feel all around, as you move side to side

It’s too dark to tell, for fear, where you hide

Down in the corner, head in your hands

You cry out in anguish, silent demands

But no one can hear you, they’ve all gone away

In this wooden box, forever, you’ll stay

Trapped in winter’s cold

Branches cloaked in snow, shiver

As the sunlight fades

Trapped inside a frozen shell

The warmth, forbidden in her mind

Longing to find the comforting heat

And let the coldness melt behind

She finds no comfort from the ice

It’s a bitter and lonely place

The tears, once flowing from her eyes

Now frozen on her face

She seeks a fire to ease the chill

A pain she tries to quell

Yet she remains forever

Trapped inside a frozen hell
