I know why a free bird hushes

I know why the free bird hushes
Quieting her chirp
The beautiful song that is caught in the breeze
The random melodies sprouting from the trees

The free bird was flying around one day
Happily on her merry way
When she met the caged bird
Hurt and abused
Singing

Perching herself on the cage
The free bird listened to the song
Of the hollow pain and hurt 
All day long

The caged bird sang 
To live another day
He sang the same tune
To keep his hope alive

The free bird hushed herself
For there was no story behind her song
She learned she had not lived
As the caged bird had

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It wasnt really supposed to rhyme
The free bird stands for everybody not like me
The caged bird is me

Really it's because I live a not-so-smooth-life
My friends are always happy,bragging, and playful.
But as they "sing" for that i "sing" to keep my spirit alive
