"I'm tired!" she said,as she laid in bed and slowly fell away.
Her body ached and her soul hurt, there was never much to do.
She'd been drifting slowly, never really able to stay.
And that night she grew wings and flew.

Away from disaster and away from the pain.
This poor woman was finally free,
and as she soared up into the sky, she was sprinkled by the rain.
She soon fell into the water and burst forth to the sea.

There swam that bed ridden soul, deepper then anyone could go,
her voice rang out in cheer,
but no one would ever know,
that she no longer felt the fear.

Her fear of dying was over, now long gone.
And so she sprang up from the waters in glee,
only to be welcomed by the first rays of dawn.
But the moment her skin touched sunlight, she turned into the foam of the sea.

Only to be awaken from this very dream.
She gave a smile on her face, and was calm as could be.
She turned to her doctor, and said, " I'm ready to pass on sir, or so it would seem,"
And then the caged bird was finally set free.
