She sat on the window sill And somehow managed to squeeze herself out of the bars Tied to the bars was a rope Ending in the vastness of water below The leafy curtains hid her And she sure nobody could see her
But she had been there, since a while Deciding, whether to jump off Or hang on to the bars beside When suddenly opened the door Creaking in motion And chilling her spines in the move A figure entered Looked about the room And stopped to glance at the curtains A little longer than supposed
A thousand thoughts troubled her mind Should she jump off? Or stay where she had been brought? The figure resigned But with a stealthier pace than which it had arrived
The clocks were ticking And the sand, filling the lower block She had to choose Fast Or she would lose Her last chance But she knew not Whether she would survive For the water below was cold and deep And vast as far as her eyes could reach Would it be worth if she took the risk? Well, it had to be 'Coz no place could be worser than this A place where chained she lay all day long Where worthless her life, meant nothing at all
So many thoughts, so little time She could hear footsteps approaching To chain her back maybe
The footsteps were getting closer And the sand trickling down She paused Took a deep breath Held tight to the rope and "It would suffice"- she thought And let go of herself And just as they approached She had fallen into the water "What now!" she thought, "what more to this!" 'Coz they had cut off her wings long ago And she couldn't fly anymore And she was just a little bird With tiny little feet to give her some hope.
