Escape
It is the power to dream which has helped to set
Me free from these invisible chains. I felt
Like a caged bird, who wanted to sing old and
Cherished songs, but I was not even aware that
A better and brighter dawn existed above and
Beyond these dark and dingy walls. I felt suffocated
And could not breathe. The air was toxic and the
People were full of greed and ego. These evil people
Refused to let me go and would not take no for an
Answer. I could not find a convenient exit and was
Locked inside and could not hide. Finally, I found a
Master key. Escaping into the wilderness was my
Destiny. I filled my lungs with fresh air: the oxygen
Entered my blood stream and I felt better than before.
The touch of sunshine on my shoulder made me
Long for more: Mother Nature bestowed her blessings galore.
