Rhythm
She spread her wooden wings
to take a flight into the seamless sky of possibilities
dreams bigger than her whole being
She closes her eyes, a lazy smile clipped on her square lips
She could walk past the Golden Gate Bridge
experiencing the beauty of simplicity
She could go scuba diving in Philippines
stepping into a world, not hers
A world floating in freedom
A world bursting with happiness
She shudders at the thought
with bleeding eyes she watches
A crowd waiting to be entertained
Oppressive threads pulling her
meek and slender wooden frame
She stands tall with a brave smile
for she might just be a puppet
but her wings are still intact
and her heart is still beating
A rhythm of freedom.
