Caged In

By Sejal Singh

As I scroll through

Miles and miles of posts

While time flies by

I don’t feel a thing

Except for

Loneliness

As I see people

Party and have fun

My shackles rattle

The chains move

A bang on the bars

I want to move

As the chat opens

Fingers wanting to type

To convey the need

To step out of this cage

But everything is clouded

So I sit back down

Days turn into weeks

Weeks turn into months

Who even are these

People I see

Are they even real

Or just on the screen
