Bluebird

I craved to fly away,

Like a bluebird confined in its cage.

Away from the oppression,

That I was living under.

 

My wings longed to stretch, to take flight!

I too wanted to soar the skies.

I too wanted to smile at the sun,

Illuminating the sky and the forest.

 

Demons unleashed, demons suppressed.

The battle will be ongoing,

But never fully conquered.

I wanted to fly like a butterfly,

 

And flutter out of my prison.

 

And so I finally did.

It was my time.

And the bluebird lived happily ever after.
