The Sky Beyond

Roi Karlo V. Sinchi @les_ykai

From up above, I stare into the gentle hues of blue. I saw the clouds slowly hover like fluffy cottons brought by the lightest breeze. For a split second, I felt astonished from the peaceful atmosphere that surrounds me. I felt contentment as I spent each moment looking at the vast sky.

"So pretty," I constantly said as I continued to immerse myself with the sky's beauty. It may seem so trivial for me to remain trapped inside this lifeless cage.

Of course, sadness is common for me who is deprived of freedom. I guess I've become numb from this feeling of hollow emptiness. No wonder why I don't feel the need to break free from my cage.

One could only think and wonder how a person like me feels content with my current life. I answered them simply that having the chance to breathe and gaze at the morning skies is already a huge blessing that deserves gratitude. Though, no one understood what I said.

Is the world such a perfect place? It doesn't matter if it's not. Just like how I view the sky beyond this cage, a perfect place certainly exists depending on the perspective that one would like to see.

The sky is so blue and thus, my life is as perfect as it can be.
