Bird Without Wings

I lay down in bed with both eyes wide open,
I hear my heart still beating despite it being broken.
My soul can never be free as a bird
for my wings can no longer flap in this cruel world.

A huge chain holding on to each feathers,
hence no one received the cries of those letters.
The rusted cage surrounded by darkness
lived a bird misunderstood despite it being harmless.

I hear its beak as it clangs the bars,
trying to break free as if it's suffocated in a jar.
Oh why is it that you weep so much feathered one?
only because you can't fly doesn't mean that your journey is done.

In my slumber showed a dream where I flew but suddenly fell from above,
what surprisingly catched me somewhat looked like a dove.
I realized that some things have to be taken away or to cease,
for our ending to be filled with love and peace.
