Will the Caged Bird Fly Free?

It’s painful to hope,

to believe that a caged bird

can fly free,

to harbor the dream

that if you reached out your hand,

you could touch

a world of possibility.

My hand is suspended,

paused,

knowing that in one more heartbreak,

it would all be ended.

So will I be

still ever reaching,

the world perpetually outside

of my grasp,

or will I seize my life

with one final,

startled gasp,

as my battered wings wearily

fly me away,

into the sunlight

and one endless,

glorious, new day.

Excerpt from the book “Skeletons in My Closet”
