Stuck
A poem about feeling frustrated and unable to change things.

I can open my mouth
To make so much noise
But unfortunately you won't hear a thing
An invisible gag
Hands tied behind my back
Another canary unable to sing
I'm free from a cage
But unable to move
Taunted by those who can fly
You laugh at my
Distraught and my anger
Rises to levels sky high
I cannot jump
Wihtout a fall
But cannot ignore the order
I jump once again
I fall yet again
Trapped in this world with no borders
A sucker prisoner
Unrestrained to the world
But so lonely with unseen shackles
Back is bent
Because it cannot get straight
When surrounded by one-toned hackles
A feeling of dread
As my time comes again
Invisibly cuffed as I walk through the door
Now blindfolded
So my pleading eyes
Won't disturb others stuck to the floor.
