Caged Hummingbird

 

I found out who I really am?

I\'m a soul that likes to be free

I don\'t like the mundane in life

I just want to be me

I don\'t want to follow any crowd

I don\'t like to copy the norm

I like to be different

but I still know my soul is warm

I have no fear of being alone

I like to have peace and time

I like to watch out the window

to watch the other birds in flight

I wonder are they souls like me?

are they happy just flying free?

I only have one great wish

the wish, to just be me

If it wasn’t for my gentle heart

my feathers would have burned fiercely


a soul that once had light
my freedom just a memory

I must reject these tiresome thoughts
that savage my taunted mind


reduce them to a petal of hope
with harmony entwined

 

I wish for the day
empathy opens my cage
and lets me fly away?


at least she knows I’ll do my best
determined, come what may

with forceful winds that once were tender
blowing me into the blazing sun


my courageous assumption of what could be
is yet to be undone

lightning strike my sorrowed heart
if I cannot be me


compassion strike my cage tonight

 and let my mind fly free.
