A poem a day for 2013 - day 56 - Time

I have built a fence around myself
In the worst way
I made lemonade with my lemons
Became addicted to the taste
Spent my life painting this cage
Sticking plastic flowers and smiley animal faces
Along the bars
People come from miles away
To see my fence
Comment on its colors
How it makes the neighborhood shine
But it is a fence
A cage 
A prison I must escape
One thought 
At a time
