Fly Away

I am a bird

Trapped in a cage

Looking out the window

At the wide open sky

Wising that I

Could break free

And fly out to the horizon

Suddenly

A girl rushes in

Opens my cage

And carries me

Over to the window.

I spread my wings

And jump out into the open

Finally breaking free

Of that entrapment

I had grown to loathe

BAM!

My right wing is shot.

I cannot fly.

I begin to fall

Faster and faster

Plummeting towards the ground

Feet away from my death.

I wish I were back in my cage.
