Poem...

 

- 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 -

 

I had a bird in a cage,
And I killed her.

Even under the melting sun,
My hands still remain cold.

Behind all those iron bars,
The bird still held a freedom
That I never had.

As I never saw the borders,
Kept aspiring for more
And was never satisfied.

She flew and I watched.

I was young,
Foolish,
Jealous —
And I killed her...
