Bird in a cage

My prison of glass 

and walls and steel

Chained to a computer

A hamster on a wheel

I'm entertaining
the darkest of thoughts

To find the peace

I've always sought

I do not feel
all that well

But it doesn't matter

Who I tell

The problem here

Is plain to see

The object of my suffering?

It’s me. 

June 22nd 2016

The muggiest of days
Where sweet air
Offers no reprieve
Only 48 hours
Until I hope 
To be relieved
