CLASS 5

I was trapped inside the tiny cage,

cut off from the entire world,

My only friend was the shadow,

My shadow so silent, it never spoke.

My wings were pinned, I could not move.

Lungs, What lungs?

They were running out of fresh air,

the joy of life, the people, the laughter.

I had had enough, I could not take more.

Then one day, the cage cracked open.

I spread my wings,

They danced with joy.

Happiness filled my mind and heart,

I was free to do whatever I wanted,

I was free to go where ever I wanted.

The long lost feeling returned to me.

I remembered how it was to be finally free.
