a caged bird's Cinderella story

locked behind the door that no one approaches,
the caged bird sorrowfully looks out,
hoping to be free from its iron prison.
just as Cinderella hopes to attend the ball,
the bird hopes to attain the freedom she desires,
the freedom of being able to find her one true love.
she is stopped by a strong force that keeps her there;
would that force ever understand her?
she almost gives in to that power
until she finally sees him, that shining angel,
the one who she has been looking for
and he helps her out of her cage.
she has finally found her key,
the one that will set her free,
the chosen piece that will complete her.
the next minute, she is forced back inside,
separated from her lover once more,
forced into the darkness once more.

the event happens again, but to no avail.
the only way Cinderella can save herself
is possibly through the fusing of two minds,
through the fusing of two souls,
through the fusing of two hearts,
and the will of Cinderella herself.
though joined through eternity,
the trials of true love continue on
into the peaceful tomorrow where the ball
is the most grand event with happiness, joy, and love
