Saturday 14th

l am a bird in a cage

pretty and loved

yet I feel so alone

people delight and stare

they love my cage

and the clever way I get carried around

when the admiring is done,

it is back into a box I go

what good is it to be pretty and loved

if I can’t be free

    Whether taken literally or figuratively, this is a sad tale. Very moving.

    Poignant verse, and so true.
