Monkey in a cage

You’ll Pick out everybody’s problems but you wont help your self 
You’d rather sit alone in pity then take care of your health
You act like it’s everybody’s fault you’ve got nothing to gain
using Magic capsules to escape your own brain
Can’t give yourself a break so you wanna do it over again 
Someone help this monkey

Captured Internally

I’m a bird in a cage, but the cage is my head,
On a walk in the park, but I’m running instead,
The bookshelf is haunted, my reflection is too,
Squeaks and whimpers out in the blue

Premium MemberCage of duality

Destiny any, there’s a common thread
in the unique journey of every soul,
going through life, playing their ordained role,
attachments gripping fickle heart in dread.
False is the narrative which we’ve been fed,
ego the villain, who inner light stole,
veiling soul’s sheen with thoughts as black as coal,
negating heart’s love by living in head.

Melding head with heart, we exit

The Cage

All stories that lead to castle once ran through a course of rage. 
The dancing heart is scared now to go on flowered stage. 
Dreams which felt like soothing blanket are nothing but an invitation to the Golden Cage. 
Bird now tired of flying rested in a glory haze. 
She fell into deep sleep without

Torn Apart World

Feel like im 1 of 1 in this torn apart world, if i turn cold thats undone
seen with my past mistakes
nothing new under the sun, someone else has sat in this place
a world where we keep a loaded gun and a mask to cover our face
from pain we easily run i guess were scared of

Stir Of The Starts

In the quiet nook of a loving home,
Is my small world-
fenced by iron bars,
and a limited sky.
Protected from storms
and predator’s eye.
Fresh clean water,
steady sunflower seed supply.
Almost a picture-perfect life.
Yet, I often sigh.

I yearn for lush trees,
and open endless skies.
Where the sun shines bright
And the moon climbs high.
I long to join the chorus of dawn,
spread my

Premium MemberCage Undone

Nine years and a half, a love story spun, 
Or so I believed, beneath the rising sun. 
I gave my heart, my trust, my very soul, 
But found myself within a deepening hole.


A gilded cage, you fashioned it with care, 
Bars of obligation, whispers of despair. 
My wings were clipped, my spirit held so tight,

Lost in a cage

Shadows are flying in my head.
Emotions are lost .
Darkness is running allover,thou life is a mystery.
Deeply I feel sad, deeply I feel happy, asking why life is worthless.

I can feel anger brewing inside my heart.
Periodically hateness is installed in my heart.
My emotions are lost in my own world,where I don't have access.

I'm lost in my

Premium MemberIn This Golden Cage

In Secret Caverns, we harken to the darkness.
Our headlamps’ shut off, we are anywhere,

we are everywhere, it doesn’t matter where.
No matches, no breeze, no breath to strike

up the light, no moon, no sun, no shuffling.
Absolutely still - our souls, our conscience,

what disturbs the ash of our ultimate destiny.
No one dares to whisper in this golden

Premium MemberThe Cage Upon the Wave

Though caged in a corner where gallows still loom,
Beware — for it sails on a wave of dark gloom.
A wave from the sea of existence runs red,
A net cast through nightfall and daylight ahead.
You, sovereign hawk in this narrow domain —
Be not content, for these bars still remain.
Yet I bring good news from the breath

The Cage

The Cage
Upon the trees, I built my cage, oblivious. 
Invisible bars forged with hollow expectations
and the echo of my doubts,
a sly structure of limits
that I thought would lift me into the blues.
In a trance, I followed the rules I wrote in silence,
the demands I carved into my skin,
thinking they’d propel me toward the vast expanse-

23 Minutes

Survival in spite of a series of unfortunate events, 
And despite being delirious in the head, 
I thrived in the thicket and the brush. 
The Moon’s departure was the Sun’s arrival, 
Nights in the cities was ahead, 
I felt alive again in the swish of the rush. 
Light up a diluted filter with a crush,

In a Room with a Roof

The sky outside is bright and clear,
Yet my heart is shrouded with tears.
Sunlight bathes the distant houses,
While smog blankets my soul.
I should cherish such rare sunny days,
But I'm trapped in this small room, afraid to stray.
Looking into the mirror—I see:
Unwashed hair,
Puffy eyes,
A sallow face with a bitter smile,
And stacked high on my desk a pile

Premium MemberIf your heart has become a wild creature that no longer recognizes the cage of your ribs

If your heart has become a wild creature that no longer recognizes the cage of your ribs,
If it crashes against your chest like an animal caught in the trap of unbridled desire,
If it howls at the moon of silence, begging for a drop of mercy in the eternal night,
Then lend me your heart, to shelter
