My Family

Caged.

 

Through golden bars

I look at the world,

longingly.

 

I wanna free myself,

force my way out,

but I can't.

 

I grab the bars,

their coldness

 numbing me.

 

I wanna run freely,

feel the wind's touch,

be kissed by the sun.

 

I want out,

outta this cage,

outta this safe haven.

 

I wanna spread my wings,

fly away.

 

I want...

freedom.
