Caged

Shalyn Currie 1996 (Prescott)

Free verse
Trapped.
Like a bird in a cage.
Animosity...
Intense rage.
Trapped.
Like a bird in a cage.
My rage rage rage.
Insanity has taken place.
Break.
How do I break through the haze.
Please let this be a phase.
For love is the only way.
It grounds us and paves a way.
Lean on me and I'll help you see.
For I can break us free.
You just have to see that for me.
You're all that I need.
I don't want to be trapped like a bird in a cage.
