"Not all those who wander are lost"
-Gandalf


And then I was in a cage lost in thought and lost in grief,

This cage is the only home I’ve ever had,

When I was happy or when I was sad,

This cage is the only home I will ever have.

My memory will fade when my death is near

Some will laugh and some will cry,

But all I know is that I will die,

I will die here in this cage. 

My comfort is pain,

And my tears are acid,

My difference is clear,

But I don’t care I am always placid.

I will never be free,

But I hope someday my kin will be,

But for now I will stay in my cage alone as one can be.
