Glass Cage, An Hypertext Poem

October 2005

The poem is one of my few attempts at poetry written back in Junior High about loneliness and depression. I seem to keep back coming to it, probably because I find myself back where I started often. Feeling broken inside when looking to whole world, smart and happy and successful. It is also about being forced to be someone else to be accepted and being stuck between two cultures and sometimes two worlds.

The cute blue colors are to represent the glass transparency. The barriers I talk about doesn.t seem to be there, it looks pleasant to eye, small cute, yet it is constricting. Words that seems as shapes, so harmonious with the rest alternately shies away and tests the boundaries of the box they are stuck in.
