Do You Hear My Spirit?

Like a bird?

Do you hear my spirit?

Like a bird trapped in a room?

Do you hear my spirit?

A bird trapped in a room that has forgotten

Where

It

came from?

Agitated

Tired

Do you hear my spirit? 

The anxious flutter of my wings? 

The persistent rustling

And clamoring

Looking for a way back to freedom

Do you hear my spirit? 

How my wings slump tired

Agitated

Exhausted

Looking for a place to rest

Do you hear my spirit? 

Or do you hear the silence?

And bask in the victory

Of my defeat?
