Behind a metal cage, I stare,
Envy pulses despite you being a meager crow.
You catch my eyes, unaware,
Of the jealousy shot at you from below.
How wonderful to slice through the sky,
On exquisitely black, shining wings.
Never pausing to investigate why.
Or waste time pondering things.
Soar on wings of integrity,
Away from this place;
A useless barren city.
A malignant space.
How fortunate for you to be able to leave.
Leaving behind a lonely girl, with dead dreams weaved.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
