Bird cage

BIRD CAGE

 

She was trapped, hidden away,

In a golden cage,

Her secrets were lies,

And she was drowning in her tears,

She wished she hadn’t cried so much,

The past is the past, they said.

But no one ever forgot,

They looked at her with agonizing eyes,

She was full of fear, and regret,

She was left alone,

Lost, and forgotten,

Until one day,

She found a pin,

Large enough to pick the lock,

It took all she had, but she finally got it open,

She was free now,

But was she really?

She looked around; she didn’t feel any different,

So she ran back to the cage, and collapsed in her tears and sorrow,

All the bad thoughts in her mind appeared,

And turned her into something awful, and cruel,

A blackbird,

Blackbird, blackbird they said,

Take these broken wings,

 And learn to fly,
All your life you’ve been waiting,

 for this moment to arise.
