Jane Eyre
She grew up in a world of ignorance
In a house of smiling masks
And burning red rooms
She grew up in a cage
Each heartache, each shipwreak, each fist of hatred
building the bars around her
They said she was a devil
That no heart could love her
That no soul would keep her
Isolated from a world
where beauty could not be found
Her face was plain
but her eyes held shattered tapestries of innocense
Broken by the dark side of the world
Destroyed by its hatred and blind eyes
that refused to look upon an orphan girl
She had seen the nightmares in a world of dreams
Told that not even God himself would love her
Broken down into bird-cage girl
with old lonely eyes and face that could not smile
Chained in a life of heartache and isolation
A caged bird
with broken wings
She longed for love to free her wings
Found it in the heart of a lonely man
A man that shared her eyes
A broken love
that could not be unbroken
Wild and pure
Two caged people
longing for freedom
Jane Eyre
Hearing his voice
Feeling his heart calling for hers
Knowing that while the world was falling apart around them
She had their undying love
That set them free.

One of the most heartfelt novels I've ever read. Opened my eyes to the invisible despair and unimagined brokeness that exists in people's hearts.
