I never
knew such beauty
Until
I saw her wings
They
were spread wide
Like
a smile from eye to eye
A
grin
Little
did she know she could never fly
She
wouldn’t even try
It
was pointless to her because she thought she would fall
See
she already lost the battle
Because
she didn’t even give it her all
She
gave nothing, she got nothing in return
But
she stayed
Hoping
her dreams
Of
open skies and wind would go away
My
heart breaks for the young bird
So
eager to live, so eager to sing
Trapped
in a cage, like a pet
Every
day she would watch other birds for hours on end
She’d
put a smile on her face
And
sing a song for them
Little
did they know it was all pretend
Years
and years passed to no relief
Because
like a caged bird indoors
She'll
never know more than the rusty metal doors
