A cage of Life for the broken Winged


So they thought she was made of soft plastic Broken heart thrown in a doll Hair and nails put on it She had a mouth but her mind stayed inside She could not speak, move, or truly smile It was forced upon her face Such torture as a child Mom and dad made and left the poor girl lying Now they're out without a doubt, not a thought of crying No shield, no light, no guidance She's all alone or so she thought she would surely die there Until this light of love and fight told her it's okay to cry at night She said she had no home or life and she could never be a wife Tears that never seem to fall Movement she couldn't control at all Who was to hear her tiny scream When smothered by her own insecurity Forced to do forced to say But she never wanted to be that way The winters that iced her heart The summers that burned her feet How could it be that you were the one to save her The one to set her free of all of her burdened care This new light of joy in her eyes Someone that use to make her feel alive For this warm lie didn't last Just a dream quick to pass Soon she was awaken in the same rain she fell asleep in With the same pain of never being heard the fear of never being loved The rainbow is back to grey Everything is back to normal back to reality Here everyone except her is always happy Ignoring the shadows and her sad prolonged helpless plea
