The Finding Out

As the days grew longer 
and the nights still
She could feel her world shrinking 
Feeling trapped
Like being in a cage 
A whole world
just in the reach of her palms
Not knowing
A life full of wondering 
As she was looking through the bars
In the distance was a bird
Soaring free
And in that moment 
Everything was clear
