Poem
Locked within a golden cage Kept under lock and key Cloaked with a dark veil To hide me from the world Kept in the darkness In this cold prison. Under watchful eyes Gazes cold as ice As I remain silent Frightened to move One false step Would be my doom. My only hope My only light My only simmer Was the tiny gap Between the veil The light of the sun. A warm gentle ray Shines through the gap Filling my feathery body With a light of hope. The slither of the sky I saw with my own eyes Blue as the clearest sea Misty clouds drifted by. It intrigued me Brought luscious color To my monochrome life A sparkle filled my eye As I felt a glow within That light was hope. Hope to spread my wings Hope to break from my prison Hope to tear free from oppression Hope to break free of suppression Hope to be who I was meant to be Hope to make my own story. This life given to me I was not meant for This unfair situation This tyrant monarchy That has caged me That all ends now. I lift my wings I lift myself up I fly back to charge With all my strength To break down the door. With all my heart With all my strength A chirping battle cry As I kept charging forth Each strike to loosen The lock that holds me. Smash! Break! Crumble! As the lock falls I spring free Wings wide Spirits soars Toward the window! Through the window Out into the world Straight to the sky THe sun shining bright Welcoming me to the free world. Tears flow down my beak I sing a harmonious song Of my newfound freedom From my horrid prison That held me down. The sun speaks to me "Sweet Nightingale, I am happy that my light Has given you hope To break free from your prison Your free to explore the world." I could not be any happy To finally break free To have found the strength To escape my tormentors To follow my own path Than the one previous planned. The world now my oyster Lands ready to be explored Friends to find along the way Adventures that await me Dreams I've longed to come true Love to find my other half. It is now time For this nightingale To fly forth into the world And begin her life's story Her true life that she always wanted Fly free now nightingale.
