"It's dangerous out there", he whispered in my ear
"Full of threat and fear,
You're better off in here."
"I'll keep you safe forever", and he locked up the door.
"Eternity", he swore,
"Ten thousand years and more."
"Feel free", he said, as he threw away the key
"Feel but don't be,
You don't want to be free."
I whispered gentle thanks, and tightly gripped the bars.
I sang up at the stars,
And ignored the passing cars.
