Metal Cage

I used to be locked
In a metal cage
I never saw the day
But I always prayed

I used to be locked 
In a metal cage
I always had fear 
And open rage

The time is up
I've come so far
I have to let go 
Of the metal bars

Seasons greetings
Time has passed
Look out sun 
I'm free at last

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
