You
are a bird in a cage
who wonders if you were created to
do more than cling
to a perch
and
watch others live
Inspired by Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem, “Sympathy,” Breezy Van Lit composed You Are a Bird as an allegorical exploration of your spirit’s desire to be free. This inspirational novella is written in 2nd person point of view and present tense to pull readers into the peculiar world of the protagonist bird—You.
“Refuse to be caged.” —Breezy Van Lit
