Silver bars scrape my skin.
Fingers uninjured.
Rust stains my resolve.
Heartbeat proves fire.
Muscles fail under pressure.
Legs still raise me up.
Why does pain chain me?
Human brutality rings true.
What bares my truth?
Strength projection reigns
Despite inner-caging unseen
The future is wide
My wings reluctant to flutter
…now scream for flexion.
Desire for victory crowds the mind
My victory?
Uncertainty shatters my window
My voice cries out against the storm.
Will the clouds part?
Or will brutality open its jaws and consume?
This cage must perish into ash with me.
Or the blood streaks behind me will paint my trail!
