I built my own cage,
I’m the designer of
my own prison
I twisted the metal till my hands bled
working every wire into a bar
I fastened every bolt and every *****
meticulously trapping myself there
I marked you as my salvation
and the truth is you were only a
figment of my imagination
I controlled this place
you were not my executioner
and I’m free to leave
so free
but i can’t
if you asked me to stay
I would be dammed to say no
one cadence
one word
one syllable
stay.
thats all the effort you’d ever have to put in
tell me that magic phrase
Ill lock this door behind me
forever.
