CAGED DEPRESSION

I woke in a wired cage

dressed in a unique

shade of red

a blood thirsty color 

quite like how I'm feeling

angry, pissed off with another...

Stood in the corner

I looked at my hands

bandage with ribbon

I couldn't understand

and then I peered up...

In front of me

was a stranger

dressed in a unique

shade of black

so black I could hardly

see them

rage and hunger

glowed from their eyes instead..

Around this wired cage

is an empty dry land

only a hooded figure stood

silence fell

and a almighty clap

thundered from his hands..

I knew instantly

the first round begun

the stranger dropped its cape

and pointed the gun

is this a nightmare?

as I had nothing..

I glared down the barrel of a gun

suffocating by wire

watched by death

it all adds up...

Not my best... =(

A dream? A reflection of a mood? Read into it what you will it is facinating. A whole jumble of emotions, themes and ideas. It is an interesting work. Your best? I haven't read enough. Certainly better than a lot of others. That's all I can say. The imagry is startleling and very striking. I'm glad you posted it

Read again and it is now clear.
In your vision, you are enmeshed by
the rules of another, your hands are tied.
You feel that you are trapped, in a cage,
Then, the cape is dropped and you recognize
him, he claps his hands, demanding instant
response from you and the gun pointed at
you signifies what you will get if you don`t
respond to his liking.
This may not be your lover, it may be what
mankind means to you.
Very wlll written. Excellent stuff.

Not my best interpretation, something
totally missed.
The writiing is faultless.
Typical of the work of a gifted writer.
Brilliant,
