The Caged Bird Sings
Forget everything you have told me
About the world; I now know
The truth. I can see
How afraid you are, how low
Even you had to stoop to show
Rebels and deviants your fee.
Maybe I had a chance to run
Open and free in your countryside.
Though, you would never look to the sun,
Hurting your eyes and losing your guide.
Eidolons never grew up to abide
Rules and restrictions on a gun.
Imagine how it must have felt
Among the countless hours with
My voice. Imagine the great
Fear you must have felt when you
Realized that your name was the one
Engraved in these bars, not mine.
Even trophies and birds can’t survive in a cage.
