There’s pain in my heart, my chest. Something or maybe someone caged wants to be freed, but I don’t know what or who that is. I can feel it moving. It’s restless. It grips the bars of my ribcage and screams with all its might, but it gets no answers back—so it goes back to pacing and tracing its steps in anguish. Even though I can’t hear it screaming, I know it is. Piercing!—that’s how its voice is, and I feel its intensity engulfing me.
On some occasions, when I get a little brave and wish to resolve the pain, I visit it and watch the gloomy cage from a secluded corner far away. Neither it sees me nor I do. I attempt to reach it, but with every step, the torture rises—and I fall weak at the hands of its burning intensity, making me return to my hiding, and I ask myself, what should I answer back? How can I free it when I don’t know how to? Who caged it? Who’s the one to blame?
I wonder if it’s me who’s the culprit.
Did I make its life a living hell? Did I make it my captive and take its life from itself? Did I leave it to die alone, away from everyone and everything else? Am I the one committing crimes, and my hostage is innocent? Is it paying for my sins? Am I the sinner!?
Well, I realise I am…and also I am not. It wasn’t my fault, to begin with, but it is my fault indeed. I don’t know how to explain, what to answer back; I don’t know if it would forgive me. What shall I say then? Nothing would make anything better, anyway. I believe it’s not in my power to give it its freedom. Coward, that’s who I am. So I’d make it suffer and suffer myself. I’ll live in guilt and agony, and when it turns unbearable, I’ll find an escape, as usual. I’d part my ways with my victim…until its screams for justice, I can no longer escape and find myself back near its tormented cage.
