Inside a Cage

Please
(breathe in)
help me
(breathe out)
see--
(breathe in)
anyone here?

No one comes around.
I'm crouching in the cage
I made for protection.
Can't you hear the silence rising
with every breath that comes in?
I'm all alone,
shuddering within.

With one beat of a footstep,
the lock comes undone.
With one word from this boy,
we tear down the cage--

(someone's here)
it's you?
(I am saved)
I'm speechless.
(Thank you)
Thank you.
Back home!
