me

I just wrote this. Enjoy, and if you please, comment. I love to hear it

I shift my feet,
I stand my ground
But I find I cant
Make a sound.
The grumbling is around
Me, and dimming.
The air surrounds me,
Yet I can’t take
A breath.
My heart beats faster,
Chased.
I recall quickly, that
Bird. It flew in,
And couldn’t find
Its way out.
Caged, that’s how it
Was. That’s how
We all are.
That poor thing,
My eyes well
With tears unspent.
Oh, it seems my bank
Is full. ATM,
Can you make a transaction?
Those months of
Dry, arid desert,
Only now comes the rain.
I shift my feet,
But I can’t see
My desired target.
I close my eyes, slow.
I remember a slow summer day
I was just laughing.
Laughing and laughing.
The fingers hurt,
Sometimes. Scratching,
Not fun anymore.
Laughter forced,
Not carefree.
Oops, seems the
Well has gone dry.
Come back next year.
I shift my feet and look around
But the enemy I’m
Fighting is me.
