Wordcages
Escaped words go where?
Wordcages are the boxes our words get trapped in, when
Sometimes we aren't allowed to finish our sentences.
Sometimes our thought gets trampled over by another's words,
Someone more important (they think)
Usually, someone with testicles.
So our words go into a word cage
So they can't escape and change the world.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

"Usually, someone with testicles." You just made me laugh out loud. Great work.
