My Cage
(Catalogue Poem)
The cage that holds no hope
The cage that killed my light
The cage that locked my soul
The cage that showed no compassion
The cage that brought me sorrow
The cage that brought me tears
The cage that holds no joy
The cage that ate my laughter
The cage that blocked the sun
The cage that cursed my heart
The cage that caused me rage
The cage that hurt me
The cage that made me hurt others
The cage that blinded me
The cage that made me hate
the cage that bittered my voice
The cage that was readied for me at my birth
The cage that only death can break
The cage that killed my father
The cage that will kill me
