Caged

I yearn to see the shining sun,

Although I've always felt its warmth.

But I have eyes that cannot see.

I yearn to hear the whistle of the wind,

Despite how often I've felt its touch.

But I have ears that cannot hear.

I yearn for my mother to hear my voice,

Although she's heard my hand.

But I have a mouth that cannot speak.

I yearn to experience life like you do.

Life in color, life with sound.

But I live life without music. A bird without a song.

I live life without pictures or color. A bird without adventure.

I am deaf, blind and mute.

And I live in silence and in darkness.
