No Superman.

I am a bird locked in a cage

all for the sake of a tiny wage

my wings are clipped Ill never leave

Ill just sit here and silently grieve

I'm watching my life fade I'm never home

what can I say I feel so alone

My husband wants me to be happy

he loves me so much he's always chatty

but I'm done I just don't have the energy

I don't even know who is the real me

I wish I could be superman

everywhere doing everything I can

but I'm so tired Life is fading out of me

I think this is as Great as Ill ever be.

God give me the strength for just one more day

I promise I wont let the ours fade away...

Or will I....

An excellent allegorical gem! When we keep giving of ourselves and we are not feeling replenished and renewed, but continue until we have no more left to give, then we become broken, broken in heart and in mind. We have no energy left because we have given it away to others until we were empty ourselves. We become tired of living and maybe a little scared of dying. This is a very powerful poem. One must have something in their cup of life before they can share from that cup with another. If the cup is empty, there is nothing to share. Take back your power! Never give it away again! Delegate jobs in the household, insist on help, you cannot do everything yourself. We are magicians to do all that we do, but we are not that good that we can do everything, every day, every week, every month, every year. Sublime inking, dear PVW. Thank you for sharing...

more strength to you and more power. this write is so pure and written with such sincerity. it talks to the reader with pain, dullness and of a life that is waiting to implode. there is that last hurray, to be a superman too. the images and description, well done, very well penned, LVM. thank you for sharing this one.

The sadness of perceived captivity is evident in this piece and the metaphor of a caged bird is clear. Nicely done.

Soich heartache in the world we find ourselves
But we keep on Fighting for what?
Happiness, success, victory for many more
Such a poignant poem
Very good, well composed
