trapped
caged
trapped

in this skin
in these walls
in this city
in this life

trapped caged 
pacing enraged
slamming against concrete
all there is 
is concrete

trapped here
with him 
home with him
why with him
why him
why here

caged animals are more aggressive
they say
trapped animals fight or fly
they say
I look at him

we’re trapped
we’re caged
we’re trapped
enraged

will i bite his head off
will he smother me to 
death

divorce rates are 50-50
these days

trapped caged trapped
i don’t even want to run away
he doesn’t even want to fight

but i’m trapped here
with him

enraged.
