Umutoni Divine Poet Free verse

My Cage

In my cage 
I knew I wouldn't fall
I wouldn't fail 
I had no doubt 
I had no fear 
Buh people said a lot 
Like hey, you need to grow 
I didn't care about
The commission checks 
 And such they said 
 I claimed to be busy
 With my things in my zone 
 And I was really!
 Buh people kept asking
 Hey, you really comfortable? 
 I said yeah 
 But somehow, someway 
 I didn't know 
 Until people told me 
 That I suck and that I would die
 And I learned to jump out and come back 
 Sometimes!
