CoralLyne didn't look up. She wrote a poetic quote insteed, "Isn't the grandest prison of all, our mind, a bottomless pit, one never ending, one you do not choose and cannot escape. One you cannot share and are burdened to for life, even if you did nothing." She was fairly good at drawing and drew her bird, kelvin. His thick head and tiny feet, his grand wings. She began to shade the bird. Time seemed to stop. Just for a moment. Like the clock turned back. She could see Kelvin, soaring well above her but making frequent visits to talk to her. She closed her eyes and she drew, when she opened them again, a picture of a woman, with bottomless pits for eyes and prison bars for a smile awaited her. Her hair grew in a black fury. Her face streaked with tears. She had a bloodied whip in her hand. Coral gasped and pushed away from the wall. She covered her face and cried.
I know why
the caged bird sings.
A caged bird stands
on a grave of dreams,
his shadow shouts on
a night mares scream.
We think the caged bird sings,
when indeed, he cries.
The song of a bird,
can never be caged.
