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.

“I found out who I really am?” A rhetorical question, because you do know who you are Teddy, and even if there’s the slightest possibility there that you don’t, then by the end you do – no need for further expansion.
Everyone who reads this will know you better by the end here.
A rich little poem I enjoyed.
My dearest Dave, thank you so much, your compassion is truly noted. 🌹
No need for compassion there, Teddy - you've got it sorted.😊
Beautiful. A truly sad image of a hummingbird in a cage. You are the sweetest spirit.
Thank you my dear Thomas. 🌹
Amen. Who wants to be like everybody else.
Thank you dear Dan, very kind of you to come by, some like to follow the crowds the norm, it's good to be different it's good to have a spirit that is free. 🌹
a poem to inspire us all Teddy.
I will learn much from this....
a wonderful poem.
Thank you dearest Melvin I suspect I'm not the only one to relate from the need to be free from the chains of the mundane and of the materiality of life, here I am in a foreign country just being me. Thank you sweet friend 💙
As poets, we are all free with the gift of words that rise in the air of freedom and respect for each other. And you Teddy are the one to inspire us all. 🌹👍
I never thought of it as in being a poet, that's certainly a new spin, I as a human being dearest A.P, we live in a world that's forgotten how just to be ones self but I'm just reflecting from my own eyes. Thank you dear A.P 🌹
I believe we share similar views dear poetess. 🌹👍
"I wish for the day
empathy opens my cage
and lets me fly away?"
