Like a bird in a cage,
I flap my wings,
and try to be free.
But then I realize
I can't if you're
around me.
Can't you see
all I want is to be free?
I feel like I'm locked
in chains,
and I feel so much pain.
It seems everytime it rains,
it poors.
My inside feels as if
it has rotten to the core.
When I write I feel so free,
free as the breeze,
that blows through the trees.
I look at my past,
and I see I've come so far,
but it seems I'm still
fightin' this war.
I see the birds fly so high above me.
And I wish that's where I could be.
When I die spread my ashes on
the wings of seagull,
and then my dreams will be fullfilled.

To live is to love, and to love is to live... the meaning of life.

I have been in that cage before....I'm happy to say I took flight

Next time he cracks the door,
do no more...
take your flight,
into the mystery of the night.

You did a good job on this, I can
feel the grief.
