protection
some nights
i just want to throw myself at the fence
wrench myself up it and be gone from here
other nights i gaze at it with its razorwire crown
and wonder if it's the reason i want out
in the first place

kind of reminds me of "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost, the theme anyway.
I like the haiku-ish style of it

Mending Wall was one of my favorite poems when I was young. Thanks for the read and comment.

our defenses can become that which keeps us caged..you put so much meaning into the words you choose...really like this!

Indeed, fences can feel the same from either side. Thanks for reading and commenting.

it's a different form than i would expect from you, but it still has your voice in it. it almost calms me somehow. really nice, mike. :]

Haha, yes, I periodically branch out from my most comfortable voice if I feel another would suit the piece best. Glad you liked it, thanks for reading.

Short and sweet. I can understand the sentiment exactly. A lovely piece.
