Chapter 22 - Never Flying
Submitted December 15, 2007 Updated June 8, 2008 Status Incomplete | Since I'm an idiot, I accidentally deleted my older story entitled 'Poems'. Well...I just realized this, some hours afterwords, so, now, I'm going to try and resurrect some of them in this story...hopefully, I won't delete this one...

Chapter 22 - Never Flying
Chapter 22 - Never Flying
Wings never beating, crammed in my cage.
Forced to sing even in old age.
My plumage dull
My bones creaking in my skull
I've never know the outside land
Only the feel of my owners hand.
A feeble attempt of escape, beating my wings till they bleed.
Never even taking any heed.
I fall off my perch to the newspaper below.
The pain is hurting my small body so
There I lay, till I die
Never to have gotten to fly.
