The Cage


I fly away faster than ever this time
I can’t take it any longer
I have to get away
Today must be the day
So close to the window
So close
A bit farther…

But not far enough
The telltale yank tells me that
As again I plummet towards the ground
The bars of my cage in sight once more
And my wings torn from the force of the chains
Being wrapped around me again
Far too tightly

Then from the shadows comes that smile
That sick smirk that’s always there
You cant escape me, it whispers
You can never escape
You’re too weak

I turn my head, too late
That smirk is haunting my mind
A steady rain begins to fall
The drops fall from my face
Raindrops?
Or tears?

How could it have happened again?
I was sure I had left it
And had moved on
To fairer skies
But of course I know
It was simply a trick
Some fun for her
To see me try and fail again
And again
And again

The rain falls heavier
And I am weighed down
By the drops?
Or by grief?

My face lifts to the heavens
They’re crying for me
Tears of sorrow?
Or of mirth?
How do I know this isn’t just a game
Controlled by her anger
Just as she controls me
Taunting me
Teasing me
Waving my freedom before me
Before snatching it away
And tightening my chains
Her evil smirk ever-present

I’m too stubborn to give up
Though I at times wish I weren’t
If giving up would take away the pain of succumbing to darkness
If it would release my spirit to brighter lands…

Oh how I would love to stroll the lands of unoriginality again
And swim in the blissful seas of conformity once more
Or fly in the endless skies of ignorance of beauty forever
But of course, these are foolish dreams
I can’t go back to them
No matter how much I want to

The root of all evils has seen to that
For once she seeks revenge
There’s no going back

If you let go, then you can fly.

An interesting poem that gave me much to think about.
