Caged like an animal
Wanting to be free
But my wings are clipped
Slowly bleeding
Quietly hurting
Silently crying
I flap my wings
But to no avail
Clawing at the bars
Of the cage
My nails chip and break
I cry out for help
But no one hears
I’m lost from my family
Shunned and Rejected
Scared and alone
My wings are clipped
Slowly bleeding
Quietly hurting
Silently crying
Like an animal
I’m caged
Wounded and weak
I whimper and cry
Until I fall into eternal rest

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote it while in a mental hospital and I felt so trapped and enclosed and locked up. This poem means a lot to me because it's from my heart.

Yes I read and reread your poem from your perspective and I could feel the isolation and separation from the things that you value . I guess treatment involves some form of separation from something that is harmful . But along with the surgery sometimes the good is cut out too . Hopefully you have recovered and by writing and sharing this I feel like you have move on .
Thank you, I wrote this when I was isolated and it made me feel so lonely to where I made friends with my fellow patients.
