I live in this cage,
I eat and drink.
I'm trapped in this prison,
no way to escape.

I sit here waiting,
for a chance to get away.
But no one ever,
leaves me the chance

But one day,
the door swung open.
And a young boy screamed,
"Go on! Be free!"

So I ran,
as fast as I could.
I flapped my wings,
and began to fly.

I flew high,
high and free.
Looking down,
down at the ground.

I seen the boy,
smiling.
And to this day,
I still fly free.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

under it all is hope write what is inside it makes it easier to connect to people.

Take a good look at my face
Well, don't my smile look out of  place
look a little closer its easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Welcome to Passions!

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound

Im very glad you guys liked my poem... Considering its my first... but it wasnt hard, all i had to do was get a reason... I have a bird, and it used to be in a very small cage, but i mved it to a very bigger one.. and that gave me the idea to write about freedom.... Thanks for the comments!..
