Caged

Stuck
Caught in a trap of my own design
A world of my own making
A boundless room of emptiness
I take a step
And haven't moved
In this unlimited universe of darkness
Any motion places me back at the origin
After all
All points on a line to infinity are zero
Walk, run, fly
A bird trapped in a cage without bars
Is just as enslaved
As the one bound by metal
And so
I falter
Retire from my hike
Cease my futile journey to nowhere
Finding solace
In the depths of my own heart
At the center of this infinite cage
