The bird in the cage
Felt like this from such a young age
The little bird, trapped in a cage
Looking out into the big world, out there
Felt like this from such a young age
/
It wants its chance to take centre stage
But through the bars, the others said ‘Beware!’
The little bird, trapped in a cage
/
It wants its freedom to engage
But the high walls add to this nightmare
Felt like this from such a young age
/
Shocked looks if it shows any rage
Who can answer a simple prayer?
The little bird, trapped in a cage
/
It doesn’t want to upstage
It just wants to show why they are so rare
Felt like this from such a young age
/
Opening that door will certainly assuage
And welcome in fresh freedom air
The little bird, trapped in a cage
Felt like this from such a young age

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.
