"I live in a golden cage,
It shines bright and sparkles in the sun.
I can not fly. I can not die.

I live in a golden cage,
It has long rims and a golden swing.
But bound are my wings,
untouched by the northern winds.

I live in a golden cage,
Happy as any would be free.
Why shouldn't I be?" ~ maryam

(a little something I wrote a while back, pls be kind  )

The poem is on my personal life, growing up in a very sheltered and protective family and often feeling trapped in a beautiful cage.
@ChaiMaryu I am not much of a poetry aficionado, so can't comment. Personal stuff is even hard to comment on. I like the sketch on the right, is that also by you?
@guthikonda
Yepp! I did the sketch as well :)
