Captive Soul

Captive Soul 

A mask of smile, a fortress lie
A cage existence when question lie
A fragile whisper, a silent plea
To break free wild and truly be

Fears of shadows dark and deep
Where secret lie in slumber keep
Bars of judgement, confine my flight 
Shadows of doubt, eclipse the light

Feathers ruffled longing to soar
A captive sport forever more
A bird yearning to break free 
A silent prisoner just to be

A whisper echoes, soft and low
Awaiting courage, yet to grow 
Until the day, I break the chain
And soar on current without pain
