Muse of Calliope

Self-Made Cage

It\'s overwhelming; 

walls press in; 

never again

will i fly  

with wings of light 

across moonlit sky  

in the dead of night, 

I\'m caged in- 

never again. 

 .....

For my soul is confined

to this self-made cage, 

A bird that never sees the skies; 

A flower that never sees the sun; 

A thousand stifled cries.
