there is a little black cage 

 

in that little black cage is a little black bird

 

it`s not like the others

 

it deosn`t just chirp as the others do

 

the fear spews out between the bars dripping

 

drip...drip...drip...

 

the metal bars are caving in squishing and burning it`s very being with it`s cruelety as it desperately tries to escape

 

seeing it deosn`t want to be the little black bird any longer

 

i see the want of being a bright vibrant bird 

 

that`s seen 

 

and free

 

it`s not a bird at all

 

it is me

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
