Fly Little bird Fly But how are you to fly When you’ve been trapped In a cage too small To spread your wings Never to stretch Or feel the breeze Throughout your feathers A gentle hand frees you Holds you close A love you have never known The touch changes What was once caring Now cold and harsh You are thrown Now as you fall You find that Your wings Have been clipped Doomed from the start Cut apart and then placed in a cage Love turned into disdain Thrown away as if you were nothing You see it all so clear The last thoughts through your mind Kept from full potential Locked away and shamed like a leper Not to be seen Not to be heard Goodbye Little bird Goodbye
