Caged.  
No air.
Just the rhythm
Of a pounding heart
In my throat.
Pressing  
Pushing
Pressure.
Silent power
Waiting to expel.

Anticipation.

The fear and the pain
Unbearable.
Cold bars, contain.
I wait.
Yearning, hoping.
Foolish.
Perhaps corruption.  
Deterioration.
Break out.
Break free.

The simple things in life
Bring smiles to the weak
So small and childlike
The simple we should seek.

To a child, the world is nothing
Just a shadow among weeds.
For a smile from his Father
Is the only thing he needs.

Love- what means this word?
Unconditional and sweet
A child has accomplished,
Though we are at defeat.

We- caught up in worthlessness
Chase the wind, we are bound
Seeking for significance
When emptiness is found.

Children- possessors of wisdom
In sweet simplicity lay
Teach us truth in your innocence
You lead us not astray.
