This caged bird don’t sing
By jfarrell
Yes, I want to be free
Free to live, laugh and love
Free to enjoy, to be happy
To be normal.
To spread my wings and fly.
But
It’s safe here in my cage
No risk of getting hurt.
By something new,
By someone new.
No risk of a new cage,
“better the devil you know…”
This bird doesn’t sing;
This bird does dance;
This bird sits sulkily silent in his cage.
Already dead?
