Escape to Darkness

How do I escape this cage?
They want me to be full of light,
Yet I am trapped in a cage
Under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze
Eminently hideous and dreadful.

I’m free at dawn and night,
Where there’s no one
To judge me anymore.

They act kind while I’m caged,
But I lack the means
To break free.

Yearning for enlightenment,
I must shatter this cage
With words and screams.

In the absence of light, in the darkness,
Shielded by the awful souls,
None can touch or smell me.

I wish there were no light
To surround me, leaving me alone.
The intimacy of darkness within
Is far better than enduring cruelty.
