A Caged Heart

A caged heart is like a caged animal
Taken out of its natural environment
Unable to roam freely
Captured and held against its own will
Unpredictable under these circumstances
Insecurities are driven by its unfamiliarity
A mirror reflection of its self-pity
Constantly searching for an escape route
Being fed but emptiness occupies its essence
In the spotlight but not held in high regard
Occasionally spoke of but so often forgotten
Referred to as an attraction behind the gates
But reviewed as savage if it rejects its habitat
