Set Me Free

There once was a bird locked up in a cage, that was all alone, left with only frustration and rage.

This bird always wandered how it felt to fly, to spread its wings across the sky.

Day and night the dreams went on but, all it could do was sing its song.

If you look deep in its eyes you can see the hurt and pain but, without  wings there is nothing to gain.

There came a day its owner lost the key and this poor bird was finally set free, for you see , this bird was me.

So, please help me spread my wings and show me the way, for in this cage I don't want to stay.

amen, awesome write, we all are held captive to this wicked world, until being reborn unto a new creature with wings blessed are those which seek to be free and find all that was needed will be placed within
