Picture Perfect Cage

Picture Perfect Cage

A Poem by Sandra Swine
"

Sometimes love is not blind. We get caught up on our social class and end up passing up some of the our best opportunities

"

Part of him was screaming,
Just dying to get out.
At first it was her walk, the way she carried herself about.

He watched her from a distance.
Wondering about her life.

He might keep her around
but he'd never make her a wife.

Cause she was never meant for keeps,
And he was bound to throw her away.
Cause she was just some damaged goods.
And that was never gonna change.

But she never shed a tear.
Somehow her heart remained intact.
And if you asked her bout regrets
She'd say "I've never looked back. 
I've always been free
and the world has been my stage.
And I'd rather live and die alone,
Than with a man in a picture perfect cage."
