Caged Bird Sings

Feeling restricted..

I feel restricted

I try to fly, 

But when I expand my wings to be lifted

They hit the walls

The barriers designed just for me

Sometimes I ponder how this could be

Was it destined?

From an egg, was it known 

By a mind greater than my own

That this would be my home?

Or did I make a mistake 

Did I fall into a trap because of my lust for bait?

Misfortune or fate 

I do not know 

But it seems there is nowhere for me to go

I'm lonely from head to toe

So here is my song

I will sing at night

And all the day long 

How I wish to be free....

Reviews

[Coyote Poetry]

A caged bird will die. Spirit and heart fade away to nothing. Powerful and strong words and thoughts. Most prisons made by us. We must knock-down or climb over. Freedom is in reach. Education and proper direction. This world need more concern, kindness and we need to listen to each other. Thank you for sharing the powerful and worthwhile words and thoughts.'

Was my pleasure and I enjoyed your work.

Well written, and slightly sad, but so is life.
Thank you, I enjoyed reading it.

[Chris Shaw]

Nicely composed. At times every one of us becomes that caged bird.
