I am a wild animal
a structure is like a cage
I do not feel free in imagination
there is no longing to belong

I feel imprisoned by this other vision
I feel the enclosure around me
there was no escape
I must escape

I was once wild
the habits are hard to shake
the imprints are deep-rooted
though only small seedlings at surface
I am ruled by fear and concern
I long to run, having never learned

I am waiting to be released
like an animal waits
forgetting I have hands
forgetting I have keys
