H.+Extended+Metaphor+Poem

** // Let those birds be as pets forever  // ** ** // Let them be sheltered to the point where they cannot fly  // ** ** // Never will I let myself envy them   // ** ** // For I know my broken wings will heal  // ** ** // One day I will feel the cool breeze beneath my wings  // ** ** // One day I will be in control  // ** ** // Even though those who bore me shall never be together again  // ** ** // I know I can survive  // ** ** // Those as pets need not understand what goes on beyond their nest  // ** ** // They cannot smell what has been right under their noses the whole time  // ** ** // But I know full well  // ** ** // Because with my battered beak and my worn wings  // ** ** // I will see what a sunset looks like through eyes of my own  // ** ** // One day I will spring from this nest and be free  // ** ** // One day I will fly  // **
 * // One Day  // **
