Caged Animal

when something is lost

you can take a long time

to find it, right?

but when it is stolen from you

or when someone else finds it

and takes it

it's terrible

when that thing is so f*****g important to you

WHEN IT SAVED YOUR LIFE

how does that feel?

they say they understand

but hell no, they don't

just cuz they live closest to me

does not mean they know me

they barely do

i am a caged animal

trying to be free from the hurt

and non-understanding

but they are making my cage smaller

i have less room to move

and I don't know when  can finally be free and

be what i want to be and do 

what i want to do

I can relate to this. if you have time, I invite you to read my poem, A Quiet Soul. We are similar in the ways of being a caged animal, shackled within ourselves.
