I Know Not Why The Caged Bird ScreamsA Poem by ewest1220A light of white like crystal mirrorI Know Not Why The Caged Bird Screams By: Ethan West She lies inside her cage and screams A song of sorts by end of means Locked up for words which she had none Locked up for nothing she had done Innocent eyes and painted face I saw when I upon this place And then and then I cannot see Why she lay there quietly I tried and tried but could not budge The padlocked birdcage door I cried and cried and did not judge She lay there now forevermore Her beauty in this night so pure A light of white like crystal mirror I tried and tried to save her fate I tried and tried to give her faith I left that barren door unmanned But the keys were hiding in her hand... © 2012 ewest1220Author's Note
