The cage
Trapped in a cage,
With dreams shattered
Meant to be forgotten
Dreams of being free
From the tormenting cage
The bird tries to free itself,
Trying to ignore the hurtful judgements,
Trying to be itself,
And not a picture-perfect bird,
That they want it to be
They want it to be something else,
Something, it does not want,
But what can it do,
If trapped inside a cage,
It cannot get out of
'One day I'll be free,' says the bird,
Out of the cage, it will be
Pursuing the dreams of its own
Proving to them,
That its dreams are better
All it has to do
Is to abide by them
So as to be free one day
From the bondage
Inside the cage
