Caged

Once,drenched in mournful tears,
'neath the timid soul in fear;

Now,burning in anguish's flames.

Once,trodden and unheard,
Battered and bruised; 

Now,searing in febrile waves.

And once fragile and tamed,
A prisoner of your whim;
A slave of your caprice;

Now, ready to unshackle the chains.

So behold me,
As i surge high;
As i fly away;

Once,caged in your vile world;
Never ever again !
Never ever again !

Never.Ever.Again
