Am I the bird in flight, or am I the cage,
Enclosing my world in steel, silent rage?
Perhaps I am both, the foundation and the bound,
Yearning for freedom, yet the door cannot be found.
My wings, once strong, now clipped by fear's embrace,
My feet tethered to earth, longing for open space.
In this prison of metal, a paradox resides,
Protection or confinement, where truth hides.
From dawn till dusk, I remain confined,
Moving, yet never leaving the cage behind.
Within these walls of my own design,
I search for escape, a path to find.
The cage offers refuge from the chaos outside,
A semblance of happiness, a comforting tide.
Yet amidst the safety, a yearning stirs deep,
To soar beyond boundaries, where dreams sleep.
I've yearned to spread my wings and take flight,
But the cage holds me back, veiling my sight.
Fear of the unknown, fear of what could be,
Keeps me tethered to what I cannot see.
Yet in the quiet of night, I ponder and dream,
Of a life unencumbered, of a limitless stream.
For if I were to break free from this cage,
Would true freedom await, or an uncertain stage?

The girl that lives inside me
The girl inside me, she crept in like a thief in the night
A festering word, poisoning my soul with blight
Infecting my organs, a dark force taking hold
A shadow in my heart, a story left untold
She lingers in the depths, a haunting specter of pain
A relentless tormentor, driving me insane
Whispers of darkness, echoing in my mind
A curse I can’t shake, a truth I can’t unwind
I try to resist, to push her away
But she’s a part of me, here to stay
The girl inside me, a raw and primal force
A reminder of my battles, a source of remorse
She may be a thief in the dark, a poison in my veins
But she’s a part of who I am, bound by invisible chains
The girl that lives inside me, a raw and untamed beast
A constant reminder of pain, a relentless inner feast.
So I carry her with me, this girl inside my core
A reminder of my struggles, a battle fought before
She may be a thief in the night, a festering word within
But she’s a part of who I am, a story that will never end.
