I feel
like a scarecrow,
manuipulated by
you crafty framer, to safeguard
his needs

OUCH...boy this says a lot in such few words...kinda like a ragdoll feeling huh? But the scarecrow is an important part of that garden you know...a guardian...

Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings

What an appropriate metaphor here, kaile, as the scarecrow is the last vestige of an ancient pagan rite of human sacrifice to ensure an abundant harvest. Lots of to think upon, and you accomplished this with just a few lines. Very Well Done!!!

Kaile,
  A pawn in someone elses game are you?  Sometimes Pawns become Great Knights!

I'm glad I read this, it DOES say a lot in so few lines.  Much insight and depth here. Each reader I'm sure will read something different...maybe.

Kaile, enjoyed the read, but remember don't be type cast as the scare crow. Rise above it. take care, my friend.
