Confinement

I tried to numb the cries

and the echoes of  movement

I closed my eyesand slowly peaked  out the corner

They followed me I saw them

out of the corner of my eyes

they treaded along the fence 

There cries reminded me of infants

of pain inflicted

who would want to be guarded behind a gate

and not connected to humans

One stuck its head into square metal of the fence

I felt enslaved to.

What would I do get in trouble?

For temporary freedom

or I could just be the G.O.A.T.at least in that moment and feel empathy.

But instead I walked away from the goats in shame.
