Trapped

Trapped

 

All along he had been reading me wrong

Like a bird trapped in some kind of cage

 

From the very top to my bottom she said

Like being chained to a f*****g blank page

 

All along he had been feeling me wrong

Like a man with a club for a hand

 

All along he had been treating me wrong

Like a voyeur with his head in the sand

 

From my head to my toes she said

He virtually had it all planned

I love the use of both the pronouns 'he' and 'she' here.

It feels so strange thinking about how confining the word "plan" is, conveying something that cannot be changed, and something that can very well trap us. I think you pretty much described the concept and experience of being "trapped" very well, Neville. Good job :).

Hey, too kind but nevertheless, appreciated.....N

There is such a rich, dark mood that flows through your thoughts. Misunderstandings and the eyes that fail to see the truth behind the veils. A powerful world of words.

You are far too generous my friend & I can't stop blushing. Cheers, N

For anyone who has ever been trapped in another's planned cage, this piece pulls and pushes in all the uncomfortable places.
