Caught in a Trap

I was freely going about my day,

Doing the things I love to do,

Watching the light filter through,

As the sun rose on the horizon too.

🐟

I was keeping cool from the sun’s warmth,

Lazily wandering in a haphazard manner,

Looking for breakfast as I freely drifted,

Taking it as it comes, I’m not much of a planner.

🐟

I set my sights on an unexpected delicacy,

Dropped into my lap right before my eyes,

I sneak up quietly, my hunger pangs roaring,

And chomp down hard much to its surprise.

🐟

But it has the last laugh or so it seems,

Because I’ve been caught in some sort of a trap,

I’m ripped through my world on a roller coaster,

And out of my comfort zone I land in a flap.

🐟

I lay somewhere foreign to me,

And all of a sudden I can’t seem to catch my breath,

I toss and turn, struggle with all my might,

While gasping horrifically to my certain death.

🐟

I feel heavy and sluggish as I fight,

Not an experience I’m familiar with ever,

Why can’t I endeavour to escape?

And what is it that has me tethered forever?

🐟

My eyes glaze over, my time has come,

My fight slows and I lay ever so still,

Realising my day is done, I’ve been horribly beaten,

To be served up as dinner against my will.
