Locked In A Cage Poem by Natali Surjan

I used to live a fairly normal life.
As any teenager could.
High school is our world.
High school is our law.

But that all changed.
The day I meet her.
She was a horror in the light.
She made me friend.

She was there for me.
She protected me.
She took me under her wing.
She was my Best Friend.

A best friend from Hell.
A horror that was hidden.
From my eyes,
From my soul.

She only put me under her wing
To keep me from the world.
To keep me hidden.
All to herself.

She stole my heart.
Placed it in a box.
To rot away
From life.

She took my soul
And locked it up.
To hide from the world.
To be controlled by her.

I was her prize possession.
A prize to control.
Her bird in a cage.
Her little song bird.

She kept me in her cage.
Under her coat.
So the world could see
'I was hers! '

I was the little bird
Locked in a cage.
Lost from the truth of the world.
Scared of happiness and light.

She had taken me.
She had stolen my soul.
She had hidden my eyes.
She had killed my heart.

Will I ever be whole again?
