Sometimes I wonder why do some women
stay call home to a place where
they get bruises, dark and swollen eyes everyday.
They stay,
and refuse to leave.
Even when they have the chance to.
They stay.
Then it occurred to me that
sometimes also a caged bird refuses to leave,
even when the cage door is wide open,
even though you try to take it out of the prison
even though you call it out kindly.
He still refuses to do so.
So maybe
Just maybe I say
Some creatures, by nature
tend to stay alive in a prison,
instead of dying in the jungle.
