This is a poem I had to write for my English lesson. I mite add some more, but I'm not sure.

My cage is like a prison,
Guarded with a strong iron rods, vibrating and contracting in the cold frosty air.
I have a life sentence of abandonment, locked in this pit of sorrow.
I am scarred for life knowing that I will never be free.

I am stuck in a damp and dark corner,
Ridden with rats, and smelling like a rotting corpse.
I am all alone, in this death pit of hate.

I've had dreams of being free,
When I spread my silky wings,
Flutter my feathers,
And drift around the sky, like a hot air balloon in full flight.

But instead, I'm still locked away in my cage,
Wishing and wondering that I would one day I would be free,
That I could feel the ambience of love,
And that I could full fill my dreams.

I'd like to see you expand on this. I think you're on to something.

Ollie your in the cage and you are a bird, it wouldn't be ridden with rats, or in a corner, and if you are a bird you would class, 'ridden with rats' alone would you...

But instead, I'm still locked away in my cage,
wishing and wondering if I would one day, be free.
That I could feel the SLIGHT ambience of love,
And that I could full fill my dreams.

Top line in red i edited the that to if, i think it sounds better, and the Slight i added to make it more meaningfull.
(In other words, it is letting the reader know, at the moment he doesn't even get a SLIGHT ambience of love.)
