Cage

Flightless birds watch cloudless skies

Melancholy cannot be disguised

Resentment comes in many forms

It's ugly head

Disfigured form

Seeps through walls

Thick like oil

Covering hearts in dirt and soil

Leaving those in all its wake

Squeezing, consumed by past mistakes

Gnawing hearts and crunching bones

Needs no key to enter home

Each foul breath leaves hurt and pain

Turning souls to dust in vain

Wishing for another way

For love and hope was lost this day

Not designed to live in a cage

Feel the burning of pure rage

It's ok to be imperfect,

It's ok to not agree

Our hearts and minds will never know

What another humans sees

And sometimes you'll still have some fear,

So hold those close that you find dear

Let your authenticity shine through the dark.

Noone can really steal your magic

...Nor furthermore your spark

And when your soul shines freely

Those pieces once afraid to bare,

That person in the mirror has always been right there

One day these chains will finally break

To live out our days in the sun

And once again we'll connect and dance

and live as again as one
