........caged inside

i will never go outside again
no the monsters taunt me from these open shades
dangers lurk in the shadows of these trees
i will never smell the wind again
fresh and hot like a lovers breath
whispering through my hair
i can never leave this house again
those eyes are trying to peer in through the panes
but i cant leave this place
my daughters come once a week
with mournful eyes they are afraid
for or of me
im unsure
but they bring me groceries once a week and
never fail to ask
no they never fail to taunt me with that dreadful question
the words i hate
have you gone outside today?
