That bird in the room

She locks herself in,
Refusing to come out.
What would she have known, 
If she ever did?
She allowed herself 
To tilt open the window
And have a glimpse 
of the world out there.
She knew that there was a world
Much bigger than she ever saw.
But she was afraid,
She kept herself locked in.
Day and night passed by
And she who lived in there
Slowly, 
never got the chance to come out again.
