Euphonious Elysium Poet Free verse

Acceptance

Rods of iron
All around me – 
No way out.
They ask me to sing,
I don’t want to; yet,
I still do.
I try to break free,
But all I see is the cage.

Rods of iron
All around me.
I’m stuck here – 
Perhaps for eternity.
I can’t see anything past
These rods of iron
All around me.

Do I really want to break free?
Or have I already gotten
Comfortable; used to this?
No!
I want to break free; need to.

But all I see is the cage, and
Rods of iron
All around me – 
No way out.





(Inspiration: Song of the Caged Bird by Lindsey Stirling)
