The Caged Bird
Bright and colourful feathers;
Artistic illustrations upon my skin -
Display a magnificent exterior,
Conceal the pain within.
A limp and damaged wing -
'Oh, how wonderful it must be to fly!'
I imagine how it feels to sing,
Yearn one day to touch the skies.
My aesthetic; My bittersweet disguise,
They gather round to admire me.
Gasps and sighs, beauty glorified.
Tell me please -
How it feels to be free?
