inside my cage

It's so loud.
So loud my head hurts.

I fight,
so I won't have to face what comes
when darkness settles in.

Maybe it's my heart that hurts...

I silently wonder what they dream about...
Quiet and Alone.

Silence.

Do they dream happiness?
Do they dream fear and jealousy?

Wings flap and bang adamantly in my cage.
Watching the over-sized insects that wander this waking world...
Judging.
Cold and Heartless.

Do they feel anything at all?
