Years of captivity tried to break the once-proud lion.
\nBut when he closed his eyes at night, he entered a world of his own making.
\nHe was no longer in his cage as he blissfully dreamt.
\nHe was home once more, happily ruling his kingdom in the warm sun, or he imagined his escape.<\/p>\n
One night, by chance, his cage was opened.
\nAs he wandered out to breathe free air once more, he realized it was too late for him.
\nHis home, his friends and all his loved ones were long gone.
\nThe cold steely city around him wasn’t freedom… it was merely a larger cage.<\/p>\n
And he never felt as alone as he did that moment.<\/p>\n
He bowed his head in sadness and resignation,
\nAnd found his place back in his cage with regal dignity
\nAs he closed his eyes for the final time, and drifted off into oblivion…
\n… he was finally free at last.<\/p>\n
Each day is a curse.
\nFreedom is merely a state of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
