PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I feel trapped,

behind bars,

in a cage.

I feel tossed aside,

like no one cares.

I feel rejected,

like no one loves me,

or cares how I feel.

I feel like people are ashamed of me.

So they just lock me up,

in a cage.

This damp, dark basement,

is now my home.

One single lightbulb,

my only hope.

I thought I’d be freed,

but it never happened.

Instead the light burned out.

My hope, diminished.

I’ll never be rescued.

I’m just the hideous beast in the cage.

Forgotten, ignored,

locked away.

For good.
