Cage

I can no longer, escape.
I am caged, in my mind.
A slave. To my own, thoughts.

And try as I might. I am trapped.
A songbird, that longs,
To be free
But is trapped 
In a cage 
Of its own
Design.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
