Poem about feeling trapped without knowing why, poems by Richard Macwilliam

THE FENCE CROWDED IN

The fence
Crowded in
Kept all out
Overwhelmed
(Overbearing)
Over-intense
Stifling:

It had to be
Stopped!

Cut-through!
Removed!

Too late

It was burdensome
Intact
Buried
Rooted

The Fence

Was fixed
Constricting
Binding
Hiding

The Fence was killing ME

Shut out the Stars
Light
My mother's voice
The Past
Hope
Future

The Fence
Had no compassion

2001?

This poem is all about feeling trapped and unable to escape, feeling stressed out, not knowing why you're feeling trapped.
