Her dream

She had this dream
She was in a cage
A beautiful bird she was
Trapped in a cage

She wouldn't sing
She would be locked in
Sad and lonely
No one cared

In the dream
Other birds were around
But they were all free
None in a cage

She woke up
Her face all wet
She realized shed been crying
While shed been dreaming

She realized why she cried
because that bird was her
Not only in the dream
But also in reality

She realized something
Something strange
Shed been a prisoner
Prisoner of her own life

She decided to free herself
Out of that cage
She ended up
Bloody on the floor

She is now living a new dream
The dream shed been waiting for
She was a bird
More beautiful than ever

Free from that cage
Singing her heart out
She spread her wings
And flew toward the light

That beautiful light
Full of happiness
She is now living
The ultimate dream
