To feel the sun....

I am tired of my life being controlled by people i don't even agree with, and want to be free of people telling me who to be.

I am a bird who has lost her wings

 Her voice has been stolen; she cannot sing

And the other birds tell her it's right

That she's not qualified for flight

While they can fly and sing all day,

She has to waste her life away

For she was born in a system flawed,

Where faceless creatures play the role of god

And there she waits for the time to come

When her feathers are kissed by sun

She wont be told who to be

She'll spread her wings, and be free

Their nets wont catch her; she'll be too fast

But her happiness wont be meant to last

For she wakes up, again, in her dismal cage

And faces the demons of time and age

For the rest of her time, the sirens will call

And she'll be hopeful that through it all,

 That despite everything she's seen

True happiness isn't but a dream.

. it's not ... i can tell you that with evidence and conviction ... but this incarceration that you speak of ... imagine its third world country version ... that's where i'm at ... and happiness is possible but it's a lot of hard work ... i wish you more power ... and me too ... so that we may be freed ... and so that we can fly ...

It's like you visited a part of my brain and decided to write about it. It's as if you've been placed inside a tiny box and have strings attached to your arms and people make choices for you- every move you make. I loved everything about this poem!
