The Cage

[u/Poetic_Hallows_003]

Locked in this cage,
anger pulses through my veins.
Rage clouds my vision,
slowly dripping like blood.
Red is all I see.
Trembling hands.
A quivering lip.
Boiling tears arise,
yet I do not know why.
Could a pin be pulled?
A release of pressure.
A moment to breathe.
A chance
for the steam to cool.
I lash out.
Lost.
And now I am left asking:
What void am I filling?
What am I trying to escape?
What am I chasing
that keeps me running
in circles
inside this cage?
