Maybe,Just Maybe

A Poem by Toni Blackerby
"

its about how u feel traped

"
why do caged birds sing? does anyone have a clue? maybe just maybe i do. maybe just maybe the caged bird sings to keep its spirit! to show not even bars can hold its voice which overflows out the cage that kept it captive,but lets hope one-day maybe just maybe that the bird will break out of its cage and sing to the world.
Oh, how i wish i were that bird free even behind bars of a cage.
maybe just maybe one-day i can be free from the cage that surrounds me.

A most wonderful write, reminds me so much of Maya Angelo...I think that’s her name. She wrote, "why the cage bird sings". We are only as trapped as our minds let us be bound. Yet with in just our minds sweet freedom can be found. The world has grown to giant beast of sorts, tearing down any not found to its liking. So we hide where we feel safe...at least we think, until in fear and solitude we destroy ourselves far more than what we previously feared. Crazy huh?

thank u for ur nice comment
I really like this! I just have a few corrections that would make it even better!

why do caged birds sing?
does anyone have a clue?
maybe,
just maybe,
I do.

maybe,
just maybe,
the caged bird sings to keep its spirit!
to show that not even bars can hold its voice,
which overflows out the cage.

but lets hope that one day
maybe,
just maybe,
the bird will break out of its prison
and sing to the world.

Oh, how I wish I were that bird,
free even behind bars of a cage.
maybe,
just maybe,
one day,
I can be free from the cage that surrounds me.

Just a suggestion! :-)

Thank you ^^
Extraordinary. Really, I loved this, the metaphoric references are in order and make sense, the ending line was my favorite, "maybe just maybe one day I can be free from the cage that surrounds me." Fantastic. The only thing I would work on is the little things-spelling, grammar, puctuation. I hope to see more writing from you!

This is a wonderful write indeed. Well done. Birds are only caged if someone makes them that way. You can be anything you want to be. Break free x

Thank u very much
This is gorgeous! Your insight and words are fabulously drawn together in this piece. I felt real emotion and the sentiment was lyrical in expression, perfect for writing on the bird's song. What a wonderful vision you've given us.

So beautiful. Birds both real and metaphorical should never be caged. I think you really express this fact eloquently.
