Let Me Fly
Like a caged bird, I pretend to be happy
I have to be the perfect daughter, friend, student and girl
Like a caged bird, I am left alone
No one seems to acknowledge the fact that I feel isolated from society
Like a caged bird, I sing
Despite everything, I have the pleasure of expressing myself through art
Like a caged bird, I am trapped
I am locked in a cage, my capabilities are limited by the iron bars of my parents’ protection
Like a caged bird, I long for freedom
How I long to spread my wings and fly
If I could fly away, would I ever be free?
