Broken spirit caged
Flightless bird lost
Amid all the lies
Freedom has a cost

Clipped wings bind
Staying on the ground
Poor bird trys to fly
Can't become air bound

Mournfully he sings
As others soar above
Tethered eagle cries
For what his kind loves

Tail feathers dragging
His head bowed low
Freedoms found at last
When his spirit lets go.

Your time is here.  Take one last look at it, then never come back.  This part of your life is already over...

Broken_Winged_Angel,

So sad, yet wonderfully written.

Love,
