Life's like a Bird

Trapped in an old, rusty cage

Neither free nor restrained

Like a bird with injured wings

Cannot escape, cannot fly

With no one to lean on

Only the darkness to hear

The shouts and cries that adhere

Long time it has been

The injured wing has healed

With a flap of its' wings

Slowly starting to move

Once restrained now unrestricted

By the wounds it had back then

It flew and saw the beauty of the world

Still, couldn't stop the laws of nature

But now, free from the shackles of the past

Only one could help oneself to heal
