The Cage

It is so dark and lonely that place you call sanctuary. It makes you feel safe, unseen. The walls are full of your pain, and yet you turn to them again! Images turned to face the wall so no-one can see it all, but yet they still burn through and get to you. I want to tear them down, your thorny crown. I dreamt about that room filled with your silent screams I do not want your dreams, but yet I do. They ripped me apart, yet I couldn't feel, but I know to you they are real. Demons come to haunt you, silently they taunt you. Walls that you construct safe haven of self destruct. I want in, I push the door, I want to give you so much more than this prison, this cage! I see you looking out, WANTING out! I know its hard as these awful demons trick you into feeling they know you, but they control you. One day I know the door will open... stay open and you will walk out. And we will be waiting here for you with all that's safe, warm TRUE!
