Fly
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
