Caged

Tiny bird, so full of hope Longing to see the world beyond Yet confined in its cage Filled with illusions Believing in a place Where freedom reigns Tiny bird, With crippled wings Unable to soar Above the endless sea Chirping with faith That its song will heal Someone's distorted mind Tiny bird, the door is open A chance to take flight And bathe in the Sun's rays Look at how your eyes reflect The glimmer of hope That was once diminished Tiny bird, harmed by cruelty Taking a leap Risking life for its desire Against all odds Tweets of delight echoes above As a path has revealed Tiny bird, with a world to explore Unwavering in its pursuit To see what lies beyond its cage With mangled wings He turns away From the life that leaves him immobile Oh, How Tiny I must appear As this bird soars away
