Gilded cage

Awareness, Poetry, prompts 
Your need to control my life

Has undermined our relationship 

You’ve put me in a gilded cage

And think that I should be happy 

My pleas for freedom fall on deaf ears

But don’t be complacent because one day

I will steal the key and set myself free

A cage is a cell even when clothed in luxury

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.
