@lightLime4179 hi(: i'll share my favorite poem. and we can keep sharing poems we see anytime!
Caged bird by Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till he current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his mouth to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distance hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Missed you steph, buddy. Here is something l come upped today;
We are teens with bleeding blood in us that is avid for growth. We may be beaten, but never can we be diminished. Just like the Phoenix, we cannot be shattered. We rise from our ashes of the past, and support each other with words of love.

As a child I let all the birds loose in the pet shop. Cost me a good whacking and my pocket money for months. Dam, those birds were expensive. And painful!
