Here I Am

Lion kept in cage.
Tigger, wanting to pounce and play.
Me-at my desk-can't get out.
Trapped in sanity.
Let out the growl.
Can't get out.

Writer's Memo (March 27, 2014):

I wrote this a little while ago but didn't post it immediately because it didn't really seem done enough at the time and I didn't have any time to expand on it. However, looking at it again in my drafts, I see that it doesn't just reflect a momentary feeling but rather something ongoing as I push toward the end of this semester. I felt it deserved to posted to make record of the struggle that I feel, even though the poem seems undone.
