On every side was a wall of mesh And in the middle she sat What is out there beyond these walls? She wondered. What if her visions of the world outside were false? She was caged She grew tired of her little house What if I could get on the other side? What if my wings were made not to only beautify? She wondered One push and her mesh house gave way She stepped out and was greeted by the sunrays Then she slipped, for her house was high up in a tree She was falling; this must be the end of me She cried Suddenly, she noticed others with wings like hers Why weren't they falling, crying? Then she saw why and so she spread her wings And for the first time she flapped them She flew And so began a new life for her The world she dreamed of was right before her She found herself, she found her wings, she learned to fly She lived her dream, she soared up high She was free
