The Caged Bird

The Caged Bird

A Poem by Courtney

Look into the sky
Extravagance rings
The bars extend high
The caged bird sings

Metaphoric story told
Iconic message to be heard
Reaching for a grip to hold
In panic, breaks free the bird

Breaking surfaces longing for
Clinging to life yet death comes near
Longing for the cold iron door
Once was a prison; place of fear

What seems constricting and holds too tight
Is the ultimate protection against horrid might
