The Angst Series- 5

My shoulder aches.
I've thrown it at the gates
one too many times.
And though they stand fast,
I'm breaking slowly,
rusting over without
the gentle polish of hope
to restore the luster to my life.

I once begged you to wave
your hands and give me wings
to leave a world I hated.
I didn't care about the birdcage you held
to catch me and let me drown away
in idle life and in song.

I sing alone in this corner.
My voice is the same
but a caged animal loses
the vivid colors of freedom.
I wonder if you knew that?
I perch by the window and wonder
whether the endless sky
still tastles like acrid youth.
