Caged Fear

Caged Fear

I am a caged creature

Living in fear
Day in
day out.

I want to be free again
I want to free myself from pain.

My pain?
It's worry.
I worry that I'll not be able to pay
My way

Day in
The day is out
I sit
I'm stuck

More spider
solitaire.

Full time work is behind me
my days aren't always consistent.
Some days I run a mile
Some days just luck
I can life one leg out of bed.

I hate the days
Hardly able to make a stand
excruciating pains
throughout my body
sharp needle-like pains in my head.

Not constant
But without warning.

They come on sharp
stay with me for a few seconds.

Unleash me I say
take away my fear.
