Caged wolf,

Longs to break free,

To be rid,

Of her misery.

 

Vision blocked,

By metal bars,

Wounded wolf,

With scarlet scars.

 

She will escape,

She'll make her way,

Yet her bleeding wounds,

Will always stay.

The author's comments:

I have always been fond of wolves, and this was inspired when my friend just happened to say "there is nothing sadder than a caged wolf." 

 

Just wanted to share and to know your thoughts, hope you like it! 

 

(Also, there were no wolf pictures so on here so I just used this one.)
