Unlocked

There is a bird in a cage

That has no lock or key

She wishes she could fly away

But has noone to set her free

Most of the time she sits alone

All she can do is ponder

About how different life would be

If someone, somewhere, found her

But alas she has little hope

Of escaping this lonesome prison

Because one day very long ago

She was taught a valuable lesson

They came in at the dead of night

When she was her lowest

She prayed for them to set everything right

But just remained unnoticed

Then she heard a faint whisper

Come from their pale lips

"I have been where you are now

I promise you will live

But I am not who you think I am

Nobody holds the key

Your door is open there is no lock

Only you can set yourself free

If you only learnt to fly you could leave

You wouldn't ever have to stay

But I was you and you are me

I know the demons are hard to slay

So stop waiting and learn to fly

Before it is to late"

But the bird could not understand

So she just accepted her fate

It is something that is sad

When we forget how to fly

That we can soar above clouds

If only we would try
