Bitter Sweet Cage

feeling like a man with a low income wage
am locked in a cage

was i locked?
or did i lock myself?
feeling like i cant leave?
do i wanna leave?

sometimes it feels comfortable,
other times its unbearable,
but i cant leave,
or i dont try to leave,

at times the cage can be called home,
other times i feel like a prisoner,
under the dome!
why wount i leave?
i must leave.

i think i love her and our relationship,
at times it just feels like am caged,
filled with rage,
i gotta leave
leave i tell you!!!

but wait, calm down, breath.
fill at home she says,
like a parrot in a cage.

I like the mood of indecision and angst you have created.
