The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Hello, everyone! I'm not real good about talking about myself, but I'm going to give a shot. I'm a long time IMVU user, but outside of this chat server, I am many things. I am a senior in college for Graphic Design (not real familiar yet with IMVU art stuff as I'm more of a typographer and corporate design person). I am obsessed with octopuses (for those that will argue, scientists have stated that is the correct plural, not octopi) and tattoos, which I have a lot and plan to get more in the future. I work retail full time on top of full time school, so when I am on the server, it is normally to talk to friends, but they can attest to the fact that I'm in and out a lot working on school work. Feel free to look around, but I'm not too exciting, fair warning lol.

Papaver, Jen, my bestie...words cannot describe how close we have become year after year and how much you mean to me. You have been added to the small list of people I'd truly be lost without and I'm thankful to have you in my life. Love you bestie!!


Syndustrial, I have no words...except you're a brat and I love you regardless for it :D
