Caged
February 16, 2017
My safe little haven was torn apart
In minutes the roof that protected me collapsed
The floor that supported me ate me whole
In seconds I went from protected to endangered
I can no longer hide from the danger
I have to fight
I have to survive
Everything was taken
Ripped from my grasp
Now I am brought forth to the giants
Forced to look at the sky
Forced to look at defeat
Something I could never feel in the cage that protected me
My cage is gone
I am no longer safe
But I am free
Free to fight
To keep myself from falling
I’ve never seen the giants so close
Freedom is something incredible
But freedom doesn’t mean we are safe
Freedom means you know that you are going to lose
You are going to win
And you are going to get hurt
I don’t want to be caged anymore
I don’t want my freedom to be barred anymore
Because I can stare defeat straight into its eyes now
