Trapped

zhangyuyouyu

Bird in a locked cage

Dog on a tight leash

Frog underneath a small well

Outside looking in

 

At the big oyster

Too big to be finished

So near yet so far

Seen but not touched

 

Crave for just a taste of the freshness

The desire to be let out and set free

 

Even the sweet chocolates cannot 

overpower the taste of bitterness in her throat

    good timing, restrictions are being loosened
    well, until
    they reverse their narrative again in a few months...
    a relatable write, thanks for sharing

      And my school will be reopening soon. I took a major exam and have months of break but have to only stay here. I miss my family in the another country. Thank you for your kind words

      Wow what a spectacle of imagery and emotions. I totally get this one. Also the last stanza was worded so freaking well, I mean hats off to you! 💖✨
