The Bird Cage.
by Twilight
Age Group: Adult
as i look out my window, i see a bird flying past.
i smile as it ascends, it never flies fast.
freely, gracefully, without a care.
it sings; it is happy, as am i just to hear.
it sings of joy to mother earth, to rain that pours down,
to the beat of the city, to the crowds of my town.
it lives life as it should, free without bars,
free without hate, always avoiding cars.
i imagine life like a bird's, always happy and free,
making friends, having fun, seeing all there is to see.
i'd be the 'belle of the ball' or at least something close,
i could meet with my friends; get to know others of course.
i could walk to the shops, down the street on my own,
i could even show the world, what i'm made of; not stone!!!
i could sing and i could dance, to my heart's soul content,
i could even talk to others, without the worry of my parent.
i'm wrapped up in cotton wool, "for my own good of course!"
no one really cares or knows, that i am kept like thus by force.
it ain't fun, and it ain't me, but they insist it is safer this way.
"safer for whom?" it ain't safe at all. i'm losing my sanity each day.
when will i be free? oh, when i turn eighteen.
or twenty, or thirty; but NEVER sixteen!!!
they say i will be, when i come of age,
but till then, i am trapped, in my own little Bird Cage.
as i look out my window, i see a bird flying past.
i smile as it ascends, it never flies fast....
i imagine life like a bird's, always happy and free,
making friends, having fun, seeing all there is to see....
Author's Notes: this is how i feel, this is what i see.
of my life, of my parents, of the people around me.
i am trapped, and i am lonely, in my cold and bleak Bird Cage,
waiting for the freedom, that will come at the "age."
i'm different, and i'm odd; this, i so TOTALLY know.
and just to protect myself, i hide what my eyes really show.
i hide in the shadows, and sometimes bark at potential friends...
cuz that's all i really know, to protect my heart and unburnt hands.
that's what i was taught; don't judge what i sumtimes am.
i'm trying to change the way i act, remove the armour and false glam.
this time is hard for me, but i'm walking the path alone,
i'm doing this as best i can, i'll keep on singing my song.
