The Flightless Bird
There was once a little bird
whose voice fell on deaf ears
and whose dreams withered and died
she was kept in a golden cage
which floated on the vast dark sea
of captivity
in the middle of the deep
At times she would sink drowning
but then she would wrestle death
as the will to survive beckoned at her with his hand
winning the fight she floats in the cage
seeing the shore in the distance
like a flickering flame,
it constantly glowed but then
disappeared again
if only she could reach out to grasp its warmth
it was there in her view;
she was almost certain she could reach it this time
but then
it vanished
and she found herself being held in the clutches
of that all too familiar cold once more
as the sea monster
that dreadfal kraken
pulled her down into the depths
she found herself drowning,
becoming a captive of the mind
yet again.
