I know why the caged bird sings
Friday, November 11, 2011 || 6:57 PM
I know why the caged bird sings
A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are
tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the
sighing trees and the fat worms
waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and
he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the
grave of dreams his shadow shouts
on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are
tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
-Maya Angelou
all I can do is shout and scream, verbally/literally express my yearning for freedom, to be unrestrained, uncontrolled, to do what i want FREELY without any fears lingering at the back of my head. please, respect the fact that I really need you to barge less into my life. I need you to ask less questions. throw less demands. accept that I'm growing up. why can't you? my soul is one that longs to be free, to express myself freely. restrain me further my lord and lady, and you will see something you never thought existed. its been dormant inside of me ever since i was 13, but yes it has been silently growing. now its starting to show its desire for taking control over my obedient-self. and yes, if this continues then stopping it from ruling my mind, will be a problem..
