The Bird is Caged

Wed, 06/30/2021 - 21:48 -- CJMyers

As I sit down tonight

To write this song I sing

I feel like a bird in flight

Who forgot how to use her wings

 

Swooping along, out of control

Not knowing where to turn

To Hang on 

Or just let go…

 

What options do I have 

As I follow your lead

Forgetting about the life I crave

To let you do as you please

 

Patience and understanding 

Is all you ask of me

But if I sit in this cage

What kind of bird would I be?

 

Can we not learn together

To fly to heights beyond

Any place we could go 

Just being alone?
