Caged <br />Like an animal on the prowl <br />Restless, sleepless <br />We wander <br />Trapped in a cage of cotton, silver, glass <br />A place they dare call <br />Home <br />Screaming terror <br />Thoughts <br />Echoing through my head <br />Like a thousand swords <br />Tearing the flesh <br />Blood flowing freely <br />From the grotesque horror <br />Of reality <br />Continuity in this routine <br />Fed by illusion <br />Starved by distrust <br />Compulsive disarray <br />Insanity looming ever nearer <br />Insomnia <br />Body <br />Consumed by its <br />Own existence <br />Disguised by a smile <br />But in the eyes <br />You are taught of the disease <br />The rage <br />And disgust <br />Bringing on uncontrollable bloodlust <br />Vengeance <br />Trapped and full of emotion <br />The tiger is on the prowl.<br /><br />Agata Konopka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/trapped-6/
