Gilded Cage (8 of Swords)

Swords, Tarot Card Poetry 1 Minute
8 of Swords – The Light Seers Tarot
Such a pretty cage
I sit inside
It is a gilded cage
Built from my pride

Sealed by my fear
Constrained by my guilt
No one draws near
This prison I built

My eyes shut so tight
I white-knuckle the perch
I deny the light
My existence besmerched

The jailer knows mercy
She offers the key
I must find myself worthy
For my jailer is me

I'm a NorCal mom working tech, raising young children, navigating marriage and divorce, life, work, and the emotions around it all. This blog grew out of my IG account where I share poetry, prose, and other posts that I hope speak to the soul. This blog primarily features my poetic musings and other writing. I hope you find something that speaks to you while you're here.
