Out of the cage

Longing for the world outside, I seek freedom.

My life stifled inside a golden cage.

By the time I broke out, something else awaited me.

A field of beauty that also hid ugliness.

Caught unprepared, I cower away into the darkness.

But all that serves is stagnation.

So, I crawl out of the pit and continue flying.

To a place where I can truly belong.
