Bird in a locked cage
Dog on a tight leash
Frog underneath a small well
Outside looking in
At the big oyster
Too big to be finished
So near yet so far
Seen but not touched
Crave for just a taste of the freshness
The desire to be let out and set free
Even the sweet chocolates cannot
overpower the taste of bitterness in her throat
