Cage

I sometimes wonder if I'm so small
that no one sees me
is my voice so quiet, no one hears
is the cage is empty after it frees me?

Is a heart really dead
when it takes a major hit
is a mind capable of shutting off
before it's ready to quit?

I sometimes wonder if life is relevant
evidence to justify fighting on
could there be too many memories
that would induce suicide by a sad song?

I sometimes wonder if love is good
enough to keep it or to try
the cage is never empty
and I never say goodbye.
