Invisible Cage

trapped in cageWritten in February 1983.

I am trapped
within this cage.
I can’t see or feel
the cage, but
I sense its presence.

Is it me?
Is it my peers?
Is it life?
Why can’t I fly?
I want to be free!

But how can one escape
from something unseen,
     and untouchable?
How can one be free
     from a nothingness?

I am truly trapped
within this cage.
