As The Caged Bird Sings

by Reyna   Apr 1, 2012


I'm tired of being left in tears,
Why won't the world be quiet instead of screaming in my ears. Why can't I do it right. Why cant I figure out life?

I'm so lost in this fight, that I've forgotten what feeling happy is like. Letting life rob me of my inner being. Stripping me down to bear insecurity. Letting thoughts consume me and letting my silent plea go unheard.

Like the bird in a cage I long to fly. To leave this prison and soar to the sky. This tattered body who's had enough. Is going away with a single stroke.

My time has come, my life has ended. I turn the clock back to the child I was. To watch her smile and walk in love. What went wrong, I'll guess you'll never know. Because now shes gone and away she flew.

    Very sad and emotional it made me cry. I am like you in the I wish I could change the past. Everyone wants to feel free and leave all their problems behind Excellent write and read 5/5

    I really enjoyed this poem... one thing I'd change is I get the second stanza, but for me, it ruins the flow of the piece... 5/5 either way!
