A bird in a cage,
living a life of routine,
waits for an open door-
a change of scene.
Day after day,
night after night,
the bird in the cage
dreams of flight.
At last came the day
when the door opened wide,
but the bird in the cage
feared what was outside.
The moment arose,
then passed by.
For the bird in the cage
didn't know how to fly.

i loved this poem, great job! that's a fantastic idea for a poem, i loved the metaphor of the bird, i think it relates to how everyone wants something different than what they have, (the grass is always greener type thing...) but once you actually get a different place, or have a chance too, we aren't always ready to take it.
great poem!!!
