CAGED

Have you ever felt like your emotions were caged like a wild lion waiting for release??

Pace left, against unclear winds

Agitation sinks into a system of never ending
She licks her lips
Her eyes are fixed
And endures the burn of courageously hungry

Pace right, through a demented grumble that arises annoyed
Anxious ambitions are hushed
Release is concealed within the steel of silence
She can’t retreat this emotional rush

Pace left, to the beat of a restless core
Revert and revise is whispered in closed circles
These movements become a ritual tread of measure
But her will stands still through impeded muscles

Pace right, shaking the sensation that teases her vision
Her commanding strides soften to the intensity
She fights these images of unspoken everyday
A wanting, a needing that shouldn’t be
-or-
Should it??

 

Insanity is going against the honest desire.

Few people want to be caged. I like the way you expressed your desire with strong words and honest emotions.
"Anxious ambitions are hushed
Release is concealed within the steel of silence
She can’t retreat this emotional rush"
Thank you for the amazing poem.

When we have company, my cat is torn between wanting to hide in the closet and wanting to meet the new people --I can relate to that (except I might retreat to my den to work on WC). Still, as my cat greets new people, he is skillfuly aware of the closet calling, beckoning to run and hide. Cats a funny that way. Yet I believe your writing describes the caged cat and the wrong or right of the zoo. hmmm They should be free, I think. And I think this poem is a good write without need of being better :)

my visage was immediately of that of a tigress fenced within steel bars...pace left, pace right, left & right....going deeper of course we can relate this to an individual entrapped because of reasons unknown...because reasons can be many...the conclusion is a question unanswered "A wanting, a needing that shouldn’t be
-or-
Should it??"...wonderful thinking and in depth meaning...really insightful write :)

Conflicting and questioning, we all seek answers but the questions are more valuable...this one is clever...
