Free

Like a bird in a cage I try to escape,
From emotional torture my biggest mistake,

I'm trapped will someone come let me free,
I'm flapping like the bird but not so effortlessly,

Confined by the metal restraints,
Iron solid, unbreakable, covered with jaded paint,

Inside I sit on the wooden perch,
Made out of old wooden twisted silver birch,

No one is letting me out,
They try to release me but they can't what's all that about?

The fog that wraps around my thoughts like a mist,
Slowly dissipates no longer persists.

The cage is no longer there,
The way I feel no longer compares,

I'm free like the bird I want to be,
Soaring from the sky finally I'm free.

From the clouds I soar I'm free,
That's where dreams become reality!

Thanks for reading! :)

Metamorphosis

The vulnerable caterpillar an innocent love that we give. It grows whilst it's nurtured and given a reason to live. A chrysalis of emotions hanging on a fine silk thread.

Empty

I have an empty bottle. It's here in my hand. I'm going to the beach. To fill it up with sand. I have an empty tub. I'll fit it up with dirt. Finding garden worms. So they won't get hurt.
