Painted freedoms

We're kept caged 

 

a symbol of freedom inked 

across my chest 

 

the confined raven perched 

a top an open cage 

 

door swung open wide 

for it to spread wings 

and take flight 

 

but 

 

it remains close by

its prison. 

 

Stripped of feathers 

and affections 

 

an illusion of freedom 

created by a callous master. 

a painted sky 

a painted sun 

 

Wings hitting ceiling
