Caged

                 The cage of your life

 

 

I see it ,that hunted look on your face,

I recognize it,

Like so many times before,

You're looking for a way out,

Clawing at this cage that is your life.

 

I can't soothe you,

Because I am your jailer,

In your eyes ,I put you there,

And you will escape,

You have before.

 

And I will search all your favoured haunts,

And you won't be there,

I will wonder ......is this the time,

When freedom would mean everything,

Is this the time ......when I will mean nothing.

 

I try so hard to understand your panic,

At having everything you ever wanted,

And being stifled by it,

Till you can't think,for wanting out,

And I ...........can't.

Author's Note

A thought.Why can't some people just let themselves be happy?

[Coyote Poetry]

Happiness is out of reach for some. They forget the simple pleasures. The poem create a prison with no escape. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Some people just never realize what they have, either that wonder if the grass is greener elsewhere or that take for granted what they have because it is comfortable.
