Cage me –
watch me grow …
my essence is strong
my will fierce –
cannot confine
brilliance…
destiny
Challenges rub,
ruffle feathers,
discomfort short-lived,
we are meant to soar –
obstacles don’t define
response does.

VJ I think you just beautifully described so many people that were raised by parents that didn’t allow them to be them.

The people who want to contain and control us are the alchemy for our change. So it will be also for greater collective. Great poem!
