Caged

I looked at the world through my silver gray bars. Sad and alone the only thing I could do was reach out and feel the wind on my fingers. Trapped in by the sadness, guilt, and pain i felt. I was held back by the fear and unknown thoughts of the world i could never enter. But when i reached out for help no one would ever take my hand. I became a scared caged in bird that learned not to trust. That loneliness was my only friend i learned to lock up my heart never to be hurt again. But one day you came and reached in and asked for my hand. You unlocked the cage I set in i held tightly to your hand as you led me into the world that was unknown the world I thought I would never enter. You wiped away the tears as they fell and your kindness blew away my fear and sadness. I entered the world that I could only see through my silver bars As I hold your hand i take my first steps in to a new beginning.
