Cages
Jalil-Javon Brown
Maybe the hardest walls
to walk through
are those without doors.
the cages you’ve put up
around your feelings,
each one not carefully locked away,
but carefully lockless
so that they could never escape.
each emotion occupied
by searching for their lock
while you wait
for someone to take
the jackhammer of love
and start drilling.
According to Jalil, "People cannot show each other true feelings, fear, suspicious, and resentment never subside.
