Cage and Chain

Life built me a cage of gold,With dreams they told and hands that hold.A chain of “should” around my soul,Each link a fear I can’t control. I smiled inside, but barely breathed,The weight of wanting never eased.Until one day, the silence spoke—“You’re not the cage. You are the smoke.” So I unlatched what kept me…

Life built me a cage of gold,
With dreams they told and hands that hold.
A chain of “should” around my soul,
Each link a fear I can’t control.

I smiled inside, but barely breathed,
The weight of wanting never eased.
Until one day, the silence spoke—
“You’re not the cage. You are the smoke.”

So I unlatched what kept me bound,
Let silence be the only sound.
Detached from roles, from loss, from gain—
I walked away from cage and chain.
