These walls just seem to keep closing in,
While the air grows all the more thicker.
I feel my soul internally crying out,
A plea that’s left unanswered.

When I look up at the night sky,
I feel more trapped than ever.
There’s an entire world out there…
Yet I’m stuck, begging for an escape.

I find myself wishing I were a bird,
Capable of flying anywhere I chose.
Yet I feel if I were to obtain my wings,
I’d end up locked behind caged bars.

I know that my life could be much worse,
And I’m truly grateful for all I have.
It’s just… there’s one thing I really want,
And it’s the one thing I’ve yet to have…

I long for freedom.
It's come to my attention, after a convo with :icongribblygribblygrue: that I haven't written much poetry lately. So I had my boyfriend give me a prompt to write with. 'What/who do you want most in your life.'

I really hope he didn't want the poem to be about him.^^ Like, I already have him, so there's no true need to long for him. =) 

But freedom...
