I know what the caged bird feels, alas! I am free. Graduation at last! No more will the bars of school keep me caged, alas! Freedom from the shadows of the bars that seemed to always be in my line of sight. No matter if I looked left or right. The bars are gone and so is school. Alas the cage is gone! No more will I be feed my knowledge in the plastic bowl that hung in the cage. I am free to pick my fare from the offerings of the world beyond the cage, alas! I know what the free bird feels.
