We're trapped in cages
of our own making -
real and imagined -
inside and outside of our self.
I spent much of my life busy,
busy treading water,
busy remaining in place,
busy being busy.
Being busy kept me from having to be - quiet
from having to look at the cage - of my own making
kept me from having to decide: real or imagined?
For the first time in my life,
I can imagine an escape.
Once I visualize it into reality,
I will leave this trap
and go on.
I can so relate to this!
