#cage poems on Hello Poetry

Ilonka Dec 2019

Carry your heart on your shoulders
Put on your best version and get out from the cage of routine
Take off the dusty old veil and live
Don't be afraid to look into the eyes of the world
Being vulnerable means victory
Victory against fear, prejudice,
Victory against everything that has prevented you from being yourself!

Motivational speech for myself. It might work for you too:)

This Is Not Poetic

i feel like a tiger
pacing in a cage
it is not poetic
in the way that
if the bars were opened
i would burst out
like a firecracker
it is instead in the way that
i would lie down where i stood
unable to leave.

Cardiac Arrest

Your chest grows tight,
As your heart shifts to get comfortable in its bed.
It's always been restless,
Beating out of time with the music.
Maybe one day it'll learn.
Maybe one day it'll know its place,
Under the thick protective armour of ribs,
Muscle, fat, tissue, and skin.

When even tucked away, where the naked eye can't see, it's not safe there.
It'll never be safe,
The heart is fragile.
Delicate, even.
The heart is alone.

Your chest feels tight.
Maybe it's your heart shuffling to find the right rhythm again.
It's always felt offbeat,
But you didn't know better.

The heart is ignorant;
But ignorance is bliss.

Right?

The heart doesn't know any better.
All the heart wants to do is to come out, but
The heart doesn't know how hard red stains are to get out of shirt sleeves.
Or how messy tears are when they fall,
Or how hard it is to convince yourself that life is worth living.

Please, Heart.
Stay protected in your brittle cage.
The world is cruel, and cold.
The world is pain,
And it is not for the faint of heart.

unwanted list

I don't want to be trapped any longer
will I ever be freed from this cage?
will I fly with the heavenly skies?
or will I fall into the dark abyss that waits for me below?
emotions as still as cloud now turn into blades
cutting my wings making me plummet down
to the unwanted list of abandoned children
unable to be better
unable to breath
unable to see or hear
unable to fly once more
will another come to save us or will the blades cut their wings
the angeles are afraid to fall
and so they leave us, the children of abandonment to be stuck
on the unwanted list.

Bricks and Bars

In the ocean I picture an easier world
Keep me locked in a cage
You once told me I wasn't good enough
How am I supposed to find the key
Around my cage you forced me to build bricks
Now no one can free my escape
Tears burn my tired eyes

We bond fantastically !

We bond fantastically :
You feed me mice and rice
You feed me bones and roses
And hi speed wi-fi
I'm your favorite pet
I'm your toy
I'm your cat I'm your pup
I'm your horse I'm your bunny
You call me your Big Furry Hurricane, Your Savage Cupid, your Golden Doodle
You're raising me
giving nice baths and haircut
To your beloved American Field lab
You teach me manners
In a natural way
Loving and sincere
I'm well behaved, anf well trained
I'm your emotional crutch
I'm your cane
You smell the sugarcane within my collar
And dive into my waterfalls
And hike my mountains
You're the camp tent
That keeps raindrops and winds far
And you cook incredible meals
Made of laughter and joy.
So I simmer far from the usual cages
And leashes and leads
I simmer between your eyelashes
And I dissolve myself under your island
Warm and sweet like instant coffee
Making you shiver with thunderous bliss.

Free of cage

I questions myself do I still really love you
Or it's just my attraction on you,
Or it's just my addiction of you,
Or it's just my aesthetically love on you.
That overflown through out my heart
Maybe it's kinda hard to ask himself
When everything's being ok
but next we'd fallen apart
I think I'm fool all around
But don't you think, I won't abound
I'm ****** up with my own life...

I heard that you're busy with someone.
I saw you in another's root
I saw you're in another arm's
Long rides on bike.
This things you did to hide the truth
crews on you, I heard of you
Twice I'd forgotten cuz I believed on you
But again you did the same.
This things makes me sense of looser,
What I say next?
cuz you don't have a time
To understand my feelings
How far i believed on you
How far I loved you...
Love makes us on Expectations
You'll do something for me
Of what i need.
aren't you have a time
To rang my phone...
But you aren't?
I do all the things for you,
But did you ever thought for me
Yet, This **** hasn't flies to you...

To whom may I believe ?
Should I wait up for your next call ?
I can't escape my feelings it's true!
there's you right next to me...
Cuz I wanna be with you
I don't wanna remembering of you
But this **** feelings supposed me to do.
It's has been well said
In such a cruel world,
there's no one to believe on them too.
You put a smile on my anger
You're looking up for me I'll back
I'm ashamed of being sorry everytime
I'm tired of looking myself on it.
I left you to your own way
I don't face it until it's overwhelming response
Go get your life,you're free of cage

Depressed Bird's Chirp

At last,
I feel at ease
Alas,
There goes the leash

I am far too young to be bound,
far too old to stay around
Clueless of what there'll be
outside, I might as well feel lonely
I need no freedom
For in this cage,
I am free

And at last,
I feel at ease

I made this poem half asleep
That's why it makes no sense hahaha
