Caged

Tonight ends too late

I'm still wide awake

My body's aching

and my spirit's drifting

away from this cage



Higher with each

grain of pain

I close my eyes &

count to ten again.



The wait seems too long

but I'll hold on till it's gone

Grind my teeth

feel each drop of sweat

fall from my face



Smiling all

my scars away

I feel your anger

with my skin

Higher with each grain of pain

I close my eyes &

count to ten again.



Runaway
