Caged Bird


I want to roam free in the wild

I’m scared

 

I want to experience the world

I’m scared

 

I want to know love for the first time

I’m scared

 

I want to help people

I’m scared

 

I want to run though the grass bare foot

I’m scared

 

I want to leave and never return

I’m scared

 

I want to know who I really am

I’m… scared

 

I want to know why… I exist…

I-I’m… s-scared

 

I WANT TO BE FREE!

But I’m just so scared

 

I want to stay in this cage

It’s safe...

I’m not scared
