Caged Bird

Written about a past relationship that was abusive.

I'm sick of you holding me here,

your wires are trapping me.

You're trying to distract me,

with bells and toys alike,

food and water,

a place to sleep,

but you can't hide,

not anymore.

There's a door,

locked,

but I have wings.

I will take flight.

Your wires will not stop me,

I will be free,

my songs no longer silenced.
