What do you think of this.....?

I think there is a lot of powerful imagery here. I like the way you take the reader on a ride; quite a sorrowful beginning leads to a highly optimistic end. It makes me think of a cocooned caterpillar having been locked away and becoming resigned to its fate before realising it can break free and become more majestic than it had ever imagined. I like this very much, well done. =oD
