She had stars in her eyes

And oceans in her mind; But she was just another caged bird, In search of free rein. But naïve girl didn't understand, Taming a sky it wasn't in her hand; She was meant to please the king

One day she got a chance

But the cost was her feathery arms And she fell from the cage, bleeding ruby red. Her dreams were shattered But she rise; As she was no longer A trapped life.

This artwork was inspired by a poem that I wrote a year ago, it's about inner peace/ultimate freedom and sacrifices one has to make in order to achieve it.
