Free of My Cage

I am caged.

Inside the cage, life is

Safe.
Secure.
Happy.

With no where to go.

But,

outside is another story.

Outside the cage, life is

Dangerous.
Wild.
Unpredictable.

It is vast,

endless.


I reach through,

the bars,

Yearning to be

out.


I am in a cage.
It protects me.

And

restricts me.

I grip the bars,

tightly.

Awaiting the day,

I am free,

But I know,

when that day comes,
I will be

reluctant.

Faltering,

for

the cage is all I know.

I will still,

turn,

towards the known,

And





Leave.
