I do not own Shawshank Redemption or any of their ideas

Clipped Wings

Bright and dark

Yet cold and lost

Bars on all sides

No protection from frost

Birds with clipped wings

Yearning to fly away

Past experiences result

In leading hopes astray

Cage door opens

Only one goes out

Life with clipped wings

Leave most in doubt

Filling wings with air

Some will learn to fly

Others never move on

Left only to die.
