Just a fly
the wall
my perch
Watching this small
world go by
Trapped in this
house
it sees
door open
flies as fast
it is so
can
Yet not that
fast
for its wings
have been
bent so
broken
Never quiet
healed
for as it
does
reach it
the door so
slamed shut
Second before
freedom so
could have
reached
Close but yet
far
fly returns
to wall
sitting watching
mostly unnoticed
When it is noticed
they either ignore
it
try to kill
it
No one has tried
to set it
free
There is one
that has tried
to capture it
small little glass
jar
That one once
succeeded
by driving the fly
over the edge
purposley pushing
wrong button
Then being stuck
in a 5 by 5 glass
jar
Escaped it did
moved back
into the larger
prison
Moved back to its place
on the wall
There the fly will
remain untill
Have they no shame
for I am that fly
on the wall
I stay with my
undying eyes
watching this
world fly by
one day
Some person will
let it fly free
Saith I will have to wait
until my wings fully heal
Then I shall fly free
from this prison
