Favorite Quote:
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe

You would say,
My life is caged,
I would beg to differ.
In truth it is my mind.
My world is like a dungeon,
Dark and dank,
No place to raom;
Very little sunlight,
Comes into my home.
In my chains, I am bound,
Pain grips my limbs.
The guards of the prison,
How they yell,
Harassing my every moment.
What can I do,
But sit and pray,
Though God doesn't hear me now.

© Adam P., Goleta, CA

The author's comments:
This is something off the bat I wrote. It was after I had another fight with my parents and I was feeling like crap to put it nicely. I'm a pretty independent person, so the part about being "caged" is how I feel most of the time.
