A CAGED BIRD

I am a caged bird who cannot fly.

My wings are tied up with burdens.

My throat is sore with no voice coming.

I am a bird with a heavy heart.

I sing songs all day, all night.

I weep silently without anyone hearing. 

I keep on trying to come out of the cage,

 But I am so weak and not able to move.

Everyone keeps making fun of me

and pity me about my situation.

I am a bird who is tired of all this

and wants to escape from this forever. 

I lie in the cage hopping for some

miracle to happen but to no avail.

I keep on singing hopping for someone

to come and help me from this.

Sometimes life does cruel things to you.

At times there are situations that a

little birdie like me cannot handle.

And I lay there weeping silently.
