Caged

Inside a cage
She lived
Not aware of
The world
So bright.
She saw
Others
Flying high
In the sky.
Her wings
Fluttered
But did not
Spring.
Her cage
Was small
And tiny
Walls touched
Her clipped
Wings.
Who are those
In the sky?
Her heart yearns
To fly one day.
Is there a heaven
Beyond
My cage
Or
An illusion I see?
