I’m trapped within a single cage,
My penance in this modern age.
My fellow inmates know not sin
Save vacant stares and toothless grins.
My guards are few, but two . . . or one,
They speak to me in foreign tongues.
If I should want, I simply shout,
Yet still they will not let me out.

Where am I?

You were not going to say that, now don't start lying or your nose will start growing.

that would explain it but why would the smiles be toothless?

The smiles would be toothless because stuffed animals don't have teeth, only sewn on smiles.
