Very nice and true facts, said in poetry!
Gosh, this is powerful. So much that we miss as we flutter here and there. I believe we find the stories at the time that they are needed. I needed this one at this time. Thank you for this image and the poignant message, to borrow from Jess down below. Great work. A great Top Story.
Such a poignant expression! And a well-crafted poem at that, congrats on top story.
Beautiful!
Really emotional and impactful, congrats on top story!
Heartfelt... And sounds very personal

Lovely and true
Cages really don't make people better, speaking from experience.
