Caged

These metal bars trap me

But they will never catch my mind

It sees things others can’t

If they someday do, they will find:

An endless, magnificent sky

Blue in the day, black in the night

Soft clouds, resting up high

Where every bird can soar, take flight

No room for pain or fright

The sun shines lucent overhead

Casting rays, warm and bright

A safe haven for those who’ve bled

I can always imagine, dream

Expanding my perfect world as I age

But no matter how I may make it seem

It will forever be a cage
