Songbird
April 5, 2013
My world is flipped,
My wings are clipped,
Never allowed to fly.
A cage of bronze,
Adorn with fronds,
And painted like the sky.
Tirelessly I call my friends,
To no avail, I condescend,
The life I live is a lie.
They think I sing,
By the notes I bring,
The fools I lead awry.
They poke and prod,
And offer laud,
For a show of song supply.
Day by day I sing,
And wait for the healing of wings
For my final act I defy,
A songbird I am,
With a battering ram,
I will be free,
so I sing you goodbye.
