U ok?

every time

r u ok?

no

they're not ok

they say so

and I say

How can I help?

What is wrong?

and they say

nothing

I feels like

they are stuck in a cage

struggling and shaking the bars

flapping their wings

trying

trying to get out

but when I am looking for the key

asking where it is

asking how they got stuck in there

asking where the keyhole is

they say no

they say go away

they say I don't want you to know

know what I say

you can't know

it's a secret

I am in my cage

I will wait for it to rot

for it to crumble

I will die in here if I have to

because you can't know

I can't know about the cage

I can't know why it is there

I can't know how to unlock it

I must sit

in the unknown

to protect me

because I am too sensitive

I would cause problems

So I stay in the dark

I stay in the corner

watching the cage

watching them

as they slowly fade away
