Caged

A life of hate

An empty space

Sitting alone in my cage

My wings held down

From my throat I utter no sound

The sky so far away

Perched down low

Waiting for the end of my sorrow

I ache with the longing of flying free

From my mouth I no longer sing

Scars on my body from trying to break loose

I realized later on there was no use

So I sit here and stare

Out at the magnificent far away sky

Waiting

Waiting for the day I’m uncaged and free to fly
