Caged Bird
A poem I wrote when my dad made me depressed...

I've been wondering what the problem is all my life.
Sometimes I wonder, if the problem is you.
Whenever you're around skies of gray replace my skies of blue,
Worry worry worry I worry that the problem is you.
Words of pain and hatred burn like fire in my heart,
But I could never get these words to leave my mouth.
You're never there when I need you to be,
We're always three worlds apart
You try to force me to believe this is what family is about.
Worry, worry, worry you hold me behind cold bars of rage,
Never able to speak my feelings but having to put them on page.
You keep me confined in this cage with clipped wings and tied beak,
Never for a second allowing me to speak.
I wish you would understand how much more your actions tell me about your love.
You are the cage and I am the bird
I pray to the heavens above you'll set me free.
NOTE: I don't think I'll be posting any poems because it appears people are stealing them...
