Analogue
In a digital age
Peering out
Through an oxidizing cage
No self recognition
Under the heavy weather
Perspiration rusts the bars more
As I tear out another feather
Through the bars
Posts another pay cheque
Payment for poison
That helps me forget

My downfall and saviour
Loosing my last marble
In the game of Kerplunk
Words are analogue
Numbers are c***s

I take it working a regular job/career to pay the bills but writing poetry is your passion and it's the way to break free.
I liked the way you structured this, like snapshots at the moment.
Well done.
