In a Cage

 "In a Cage": Poem

Today I woke up in the cage 

I 'd never was before.

Yet inside it,

I aged at least five years

And more.

I lived inside contingency

Never daring to get out,

Happy with a small, safe world,

No windows looking out.

Then you came,

And made a hole.

So, I could see beyond 

A miraculous new world

That I missed because of fears

To holding on.

I used to my caged home

Because it is my dome.

It will take time

To get out of the cage,

But I am ready for change.
