I Am Caged

Ghosts of the past,

Shadowed with uncertainty,

Time passes so fast,

Especially among a lost family,

 

Gazes full of pure hostility,

I am too different,

Their words try to grasp and take hold of me,

I used to be heaven-sent,

 

Now what am I?

Am I his am I hers?

Now I just scream and cry,

For what we once were,

 

What is wrong with my difference?

After what he did,

We held a painful "conference,"

The nightmares of the past I was forced to relive,

 

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe I didn't want everyone to know?

What he did - how he touched me,

That maybe I let go of the memories long ago?

Oh mother how could you not see,

 

When you invaded my privacy and found the ghosts of my past,

Didn't you see,

Maybe I didn't want to remember so fast,

I wanted to forget so that I could be free.

 

Now, mother, I am caged.

I felt like the writer here. Personally I've had my privacy invaded by mother so I felt the emotion here, this touch me. Great write here...beautiful heart.

This flows well, and expresses a lot of emotion. It's creative, and different too. I like it. Great job. :D
