Bird in a Cage

Fighting and running and stopping and flowing
Together we’ve become lost.
The values and morals of everyday people
Have stopped at the part where you think.

But there are some out there
Who have hope and give me faith.
These I shall stick with and discover and caress
And make mine and yours and the world’s.

Together we will come together
To make this Earth clean again
And pure and faithful and full of loyalty
And lost of bitter ends.

In everyone is a special part
That so many overlook
It’s not easy to find but once found,
Makes humanity believable again.

People are only bad if you expect that from them
Otherwise they can only, eventually, show you good.
Together we will be.
Free of generic and free of consciousness.

Together we will come together
To make this Earth clean again
And pure and faithful and full of loyalty
And lost of bitter ends.

Share yourself and be vulnerable
Otherwise you’re stuck.
Stuck in society and stupidity
You’re like a bird in a cage wanting to fly.

Discover what’s inside
So you can, together, be one
With the people around you
Just live and be you.

Nothing is better, than being you.

Author’s Note: This poem is all about not falling into everyone else. Everyone follows lately, but there are a select few out there who are only themselves. Together, we will come together and influence the others around us. This is all about being yourself and understanding the world around you. Be yourself and everything is better. With honesty and no self-consciousness in areas, we can live and be happy, and be free. Free of our cage.
