Trapped

You cage me.
Your words are the bars.
Your tears are the lock.

Let go.
Let me fly.
Free my soul.

I have tried the cage.
My soul doesn't belong.
The walls close in.

Can't breathe.
Can't laugh.
Can't move.

Give me back my Wings.

Very clear voice. It has a nice strong build up, then the demand is made for freedom. Good poem.

Hmmm, seems like you know my ex-boyfriend. This is very much part of what he did.
