Old poem

[akitochiaki]

 I wrote this back in February for an english poetry contest between the third year students in my high school. It won the first prize!
Someone will probably recognize herself in this, not in a very good way... Don't worry too much about it, you-know-who, it's all gone now. I don't feel like that anymore, I moved on. ^^'

To a Friend

I create my own cage
In a world that wants me free;
Fear of losing,
Fear of living
Are the locks that close me in.

"A relationship," you say,
"You shouldn't base on your own need"
But you will run,
You'll disappear
If I don't tie you to me.

Don't we hurt each other, though?
Never saying what we feel...
You understood,
You always did,
But now it seems you've lost the will.

And my cage was close to you
But now you walked away, you see...
I want to run,
To follow you
Yet I cannot find the key.
