I Feel, Feel
written by: Natalia Aeschliman
Sometimes
I feel
Feel…
Like a muted bird inside a cage
My voice echoes in the vastness of the voids
Reaching no one
Even though everyone can hear it
I feel
Feel
Like a bird without its wings
standing by a window,
freedom right in front of me
Mocking me
But I cannot fly.
I cannot go.
I feel
Feel
Like an acrobat without a rope
A mermaid without her fin
An ocean without its waves
So vain, so vain…
Muted words
Cut wings
Dried seas and broken dreams
I feel
Feel
Unseen.

My name is Natalia, I was born in Puerto Rico. I live a very simple life with my husband and 2 beautiful kids. I keep my heart humble, and my words beautifully vulnerable. I write because it is in my soul. I write because I don't know how to live without it. There's something beautiful that only poetry can create in your soul.
