Caged Bird
While enjoying my happiness
hopes
and dreams
I flap my wings all day
hoping someone will notice me
In this compressing cage of my dreams
I look at my reflection
in the deep eyes
of my dark shadow
All around me
everything is full of
bright diamonds
shining crystals
reflecting glass
and happy lives
and I'm invisible to everyone
Except to the most beautiful
loving snake
In this compressing cage of hope
My trust to this snake grows
But my wings get closer and closer to their end
And farther and farther away
from their once loving
once kind
once tender
once happy heart
As everyday
every hour
every minute
even every second passes
this steel rock hard grey snake
turns a friendly embrace
into a tighter and tighter one
until their scales
feel like 1000 needles slowly killing the bodyguards of my skin
and finding their way
into my heart
While enjoying my happiness
hopes
and dreams
