This Cage I Created

I don't very much 

enjoy being stuck

kept in

this cage

I have built

I have created

thinking it

would make the strong

unbreakable

only

letting those in 

I very much

trusted

and wanted to break

this cage I'm in 

love

I have trapped

myself 

by

not believing

and

drowning

in it

at the 

same time

Yeah, the open format of a poem about being in a cage works well. The reader is never quite sure what parts of the poet are trapped, whether in love or not, whether wanting it or not. Not believing in something that you're drowning in. All the invisible bars of a psychological cage. Works.

Very nice write, and creative format! I have also felt trapped in a cage I created
when I was abusing alcohol, so that part I can relate. I enjoyed reading this and thanks for sharing!
