I'm in a cage the cage is my mind im trapped inside myself unable to free myself to me i see death as an escape im useless im a cage with a bird trapped inside the bird is sick and dying whiten the sealed cage and it cant escape it the bird can barely move anymore then i realize im the cage and the bird the cage is dark cold and very lonely place the bird doesn't want to escape its content in it misery knowing no other life and its afraid to be released afraid of the world beyond the cold condemning bars that conceal the bird in darkness sometimes the bird considers escape but then the fear hits and the bird falls asleep into its comfortable dreams that lie to the bird the dreams show the bird freedom spreading its glorious bright blue wings soaring through the deep blue sky never ending sky where other birds fly with no bonds no concealing cages then the bird wakes up and realizes non of it could ever be real then the bird itself for being such a coward that hate is whats poisoning the bird making its once vibrant blue feather turn grey and dull the bird knows it fated to die cold alone and unloved all the other birds just watch the beautiful bluebird die they pretend to care but they never really do they all eventually leave the bluebird then the bluebird dies as it dies it realizes that true freedom is gone the bird lets out one final sigh and closes its eyes to goto the sleep forever
