Slave Without Chains

...Slave without  the chains
hurt without pain
Wild yet untamed
Born with out a name
Why stand out while others are the same.

They call this living?

I call it the hamster wheel—

a thousand miles wide.

We speak in echoes,

A Poem For People Who Aren't Into Reading Poetry

...To be clear...  
I’m not asking you to love this.
