I am in a cage that resembles the four walls of my room

the mind craves metaphors to compare the proverbial to the physical

fear comprises the brick and mortar that builds walls and enclosed places

that stifle personal goals and pursuits of inspiration

pens write on their own

loosely guided by brains experiencing temporary relief

to express the free flow of thoughts that stream our consciousness

there are so many things I don’t understand.

my soul cries as i step inside realms I cannot fully comprehend

I cannot help but feel these are the places I am supposed to be

the path winds so much i’m constantly losing my footing of what’s right side up

fear relinquishes you to the path most walked

yet that is not who I am
