Tiny frame
can only hold so many colours
Without
letting it drip out of the golden gates
I wanted to
be the ocean, the moon, the night
I wanted to
be God’s own design
Instead
they put me in cage
Teased me every
time I closed my eyes
Now I am
soiled with time and space
I have been
told to be happy when the sun shines
But I am
the daughter of the moon and the night.
