Caged in the Captivity of Time

Paper Poetry Prompt #4: Caged Bird

Photo and poem by author

Coming and going through the same routine
Always stuck in the same pattern
Gone are the days of spontaneity
Every morning, every night — the same.
Days went by as I got used to this life.

Being someone who craves novelty
I woke up from the monotony
Realizing just how important it was to me:
Days spent in creativity instead of captivity.
