Still so free
The cage surrounds me ,
but still so free.
Time gazes upon me,
not in a gloom but in a glee.
I am feeling like a bird ,
who is just set free.
flying too high,
in the fright of bring caught again.
It's just a feeling,
not the real game .
The cage still surrounds me from outside ,
but inside I am still so free.
