Safe into a cage
Of my own words
My word is strong
Yes, and I will keep it
But I am human
And other things
Are stronger
My word is not law
It is not inviolate
It, like me, can break
It, like me, will break
It, like me, is broken
I have screamed
And yelled, and raged
That other people
Cannot keep me here
And yet the last few days
I linger here for them
I don't want to cause pain
But what about mine?
I gave my word
That I would live
But I can take it back
I will take it back
I will not be bound
Not even by me
I must be free
