Starry night skies (completed)

C a g e d Y e t A g a i n / the birdy series pt.3

I flew free

unaware,

here I am

caged yet again.

No longer am I caged by you,

but it is now this world

that cages me.

Straining my sanity

because it knows,

that soon I too will break.

My cage is great,

my cage has a width that off a billion

but I do not want to be here,

I fail to fit in with the rest of them.

I am unable to get away,

will it be my permanent residence?

My heart aches

my wings shag, tired

I am trapped in this torturous vicinity.

The world,

a strange place.

A ruin of forgotten moments,

an audio recording of unsaid words

encompassed by unnerving blankness

that shuts mouths

and wracks minds.

Is this what you longed to protect me from?

Is this the world that cynically haunted you?

Days and days,

I spent longing for a fresh breath of air

to freshen my damp soul.

What I received was something much greater than that,

among things that I did not desire.

Suddenly,

I long for the safeness

of my cage.

It offered me closure

it offered me much more than

I could even offer myself.

It has now become clear to me that

what you offered,

suited me best.

I shouldn't have rebelled

I shouldn't have flew free,

because now,

I want to be caged

caged by you

yet a g a i n.
