CAGED BIRD
Trapped by the clutches of cultural precepts
Bound by the fear of societal frowns
Held by the mirage of an unclear future
Pulled back by the forlorn faces of her offspring
She endured the punches
She caresses the bruises
She wore the marks of jest
She buried her freedom in space
Drowned in the pool of her tears
she watched life dwindled before her
No! No! Not any more! Not any more!
Braced up like the lioness she roared!
So loud was the sound of her thought
No! No! Not any more! Not any more!
This time the words came out alive
Just then she felt the broken chains
The closed door wide open for her
The cuffs clicked open
The dark cloud brightened up
She took a bold giant stride into her freedom.

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the
head. The problem is something too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy that I came across this
during my hunt for something relating to this.

Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely
different topic but it has pretty much the same page
layout and design. Great choice of colors!

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Chrome, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
Other then that, excellent blog!

Hey there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does operating a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work?
I’m brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my
journal daily. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!

After I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is
added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. Perhaps there is a way
you can remove me from that service? Kudos!

I know this web site provides quality depending articles
or reviews and additional information, is there
any other website which offers these stuff in quality?
Take a look at my web blog Connie

Whats up this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
