Caged Bird Sings

We think birds are free
their beating wings
the vast, blue skies
the things they see


But they are caged by their own
their thrashing heart
the commanding wind
the way old branches groan


Birds are not free
Not anymore than us

  1. I like how you relate us to birds, it reminds me of that one quote from the Notebook. If your a bird, I'm a bird.

  2. That idea of being a prisoner of your own heart...wow.
