Caged
Anger prickling across my skin
electric to the touch
Hackles up, pulse up
I pace like a caged animal within the corridors of my mind
rocky edges crumble beneath the fury of every passing movement
the air itself howling in protest as I churn through this space
caged animal, wild energy
anger like bloodhunger pounding in my skull
Throbbing in my veins
heart calls for vengeance
violent and bloody
wounded and cornered, left here in this cave
of memories singed by the past
dark and rolling, jagged and crooked
I twist my way through
and I twist in myself
twisting and snapping in unflinching revulsion
of the world
of me
of everything seen or said or done
I want to rip off my skin and jump from the prison of life that it holds me to
be free, fly away
just long enough to let it all stop buzzing incessantly at me
just long enough to forget
to escape that trap
but I'm caged
stuck in these walls I build and destruct
stuck in this skin that is alive and independent
the skin that isn't truly mine
caged
