Okay, this is a poem about when Ran runs away from the Cage, only to end up in another one...I wrote this on the back of my Chinese notebook, and I haven't done any real work on it, so...criticism is greatly appreciated!


I want to leave

to fly away

to see the cloudy sky

I want to get away from you

to sever all our ties

The soldiers come to stop me

I kill without remorse

I need to get away from you

if it requires force

A single man is standing there

he does not say a word

I want to get away from you

and be a dying bird

The soldier takes me to his home

he does not jeer or taunt

I need to get away from you

is this the place I want?

I want to stay

to never leave

no longer be forlorn

I had to get away from you

and now I've been reborn
